This is typical of JC's twisting and turning and misquoting or, if I am overgenerous, simply perhaps misunderstanding. No-one on any thread or in any book in recent years has suggested working people are incapable of making their own songs. Quite the contrary, we have gone to great pains to give him examples of working people making their own songs. As a field worker myself I have come across plenty of examples, some of which he has declared are not folk songs.
