Subject: RE: Across the western ocean - 1972
This may look like nitpicking, CJB, and I've looked at the other thread as well, but this side of the pond we tend to use the term 'traditional singers' to describe source singers, those who come from a community that has little to do with the 'folk scene'; as opposed to 'singers of traditional songs' who might be what we call revival singers or just 'folk singers'. I only point this out for the sake of clarity. This in no way is a criticism of the noble work the people mentioned above do.
