That first link of Jim's is a stunning song by Steve and brings up a very valid point. There are no source singers to tell us today's events. There is no Ewan MacColl writing songs about Coronavirus. So what are we left with? Young people like Jon and not so young ones like Steve! Folk song should not be pickled or preserved. It should live and be relevent to people today. It should mean something and while I fully agree that the source singers and revival writers like MacColl have left us a lot to be grateful for, the genre must progress into todays world as well as link to the past. The Steve Knighley's and Richard Thompsons and Janice Ians and Billy Braggs of this world do that. As does Jon Doran!
