Thread Name: Can a pop song become traditional?
Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
Thanks, Raymond.

Nevertheless, Stim, I think you miss the point about "This Land". The distances involved are an irrelevance. It is just that someone above claimed that it was a song known worldwide by all children; whereas, whatever Raymond's recollections, most children here, unlike yours, are not taught it at school, and are entirely unaware of its very existence ~~ no matter how wide the ocean, how high the sky!.
