Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
and what will you have to hand over other than a load of atrophied junk. stuff even you will not remember without recourse to a ringbinder. stuff that will send everyone scuttling out for a pee whenever you inflict it on a fplkclub audience.

tradition is nowt without creative effort. that's the tough call - looking for that within yourself. if you search within yourself you won't find inspiration every day. you will be lucky if you come up with something memorable once or twice in your life.

to keep churning the old songs out - well look around you. it should carry a health warning. self importance without creative effort. it clogs the arteries to the brain apparently.
