How does one become steeped in traditional song ?

Is there a costume you can hire?

Jim. Do I have to stoop (see what I did there?) to your level and paste your moronic moron remark?

I wrote three folk songs this last week. One is OK, one needs fiddling with and one will possibly be broken down for scrap and some of the themes and riffs put into subsequent songs. I consider them folk though, others have heard them and consider them folk too. Lots of moaning about the plight of others as viewed from my crystal tower. Typical folk songs in fact.

Beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all that.
