Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen (1934-2013)
So - a faux traditional idiomatic folk song becomes a real traditional folk song simply because it's collected from someone who somehow qualifies as a 'Traditional Folk Singer'? Baffling. But in 40 years of random folkery I confess to being just as baffled now by the murky minutiae of Folk Jurisprudence as ever I was.

I wonder, does that mean Jane Turriff's rendering of Away Out on the Mountain get a Round number too?
