Thread Name: New Book: Folk Song in England
Subject: RE: New Book: Folk Song in England
"you write regarding Steve's selection of singers he likes....is way beyond even your previous statements, and not necessary."
Why - is not part of what we are discussing what good folk singing sounds like?
Our traditional singers tended to pitch their singing around natural speaking tones and their approach was narrative
If Steve R feels free to comment as he does on a revival I was part of for nearly half a century, then I see no reason why I should not be able to comment of what he feels to be good folk singing
I get a little tired of being told that things are "good" when I believe they are patently not
