Thread Name: Mediation and its definition in folk music
Subject: RE: Mediation and its definition in folk music

The song has been used in arguments to suggest that 'House of the Rising Sun' originated in Lowestoft. (I thought everybody knew that one!) If memory serves me aright Lomax was mixed up in this line of arguments at some point. An example of mediation perhaps?
