That people have to listen to the same song for eternity is the most ridiculous excuse ever
Do you know ham nay folk songs tht are no longer sung ?
Do you know how many new collections that have recently come available
If you are takling about folk songs as a genre - fair enough - if you don't like them don't get involved and certainly don't attempt to replace them
Shakespeare only wrote 37 plays yet he remains the most important and longest lasting playwright that ever lived - his pitiful number of plays have survived for centuries and there is no sign of tat ever changing
Our 305 traditional ballads are easily their equivalent - if not more so
