Subject: RE: Origins of traditional songs
The fact that many songs appear throughout the country in very similar forms shows that the published broad sheets had an influence on the repertoire of singers.quote
correct but only after a certain period and the advent of broadsheets, older sons were composed by ordinary people and not for monetary gain,
more latterly people have composed their own songsgenerally for pleasure, the small proprtion of people that compose songs now for money are pop writers like goffin king.
