there's no point in singing folk songs if you're not trying to make them your own...

Say what???? That sounds nonsensical to me. There are all sorts of reasons to sing them as you found them. Because your grandmother sang them. Because you like things the way they were in the olden days. Because the words and tune are very pretty. Because there is some important history contained within. Because you have a philosophy that is of preserving them. All sorts of reasons I thought of in about 5 seconds. mg
