Thread Name: Folk Songs to Ditch
Subject: RE: FOLK SONGS TO DITCH
I seem to remember Frank Harte recording "Molly Malone" a few years ago and commenting that just because a song had fallen on hard times because of the company it kept, it didn't mean it wasn't a great song!

Let's keep an open mind and be prepared to gently subvert the restrictive corsets into which songs get pushed. Sorry about the mixed metaphor!

Now can can we get back to songs?

Regards
