I find all 'killing for sport' songs as displays of barbarity and livin proof that not all the folk produced was good

It was good to those who enjoyed it and kept it in the oral tradition. Don't the 'folks' preferences count when discussing their songs? I don't know any now but in the fifties that was where the men who dug the estates' ditches and layed their hedges were on a Boxing Day. They explained to me why some young toffs had blood on their faces. Don't rural workers who follow the hunt count as 'folk'?
