Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
Sure, Dick. That's fine. But you addressed the info re Pete, not to readers of the thread in general, but specifically to me for some reason; to which the only possible response on my part was, "Thank you; but I knew that; so what's your point?" Now you have specified what your point was, I have more of an inkling as to whence you are coming! Fair points re Peter's way of writing &c. But can't quite see what you are saying in relation to the topic of the thread, and the specific question asked therein. {He rarely did much blues or jazz singing in public, tho they were a great love of his. Only exception I can think of on record is the snatch of Robert Johnson's "Stones in my Passway" as a brief interpolation on the YT's "Galleries" all those years ago -- 45, to be precise - gawdelpus!}
