Thread Name: Can newly composed song become folk song
Subject: RE: Can newly composed song become folk song
and there is always "The Chime Child" by Ruth Tongue, a supposed 'coillection' of songs from Somerset...which is widely suspected of being composed by the author. There are some quite nice songs in it, and I wish there were more definitive answers......if I could write those, I'd sure NOT try to pass them off as 'trad'.
