Yes indeed!

There are certainly songs in every genre that could stand to be unheard for decades. Although I still love Danny Boy, I have to agree with the person who lambasted those who shouldn't be singing it, namely the singers who have to mutilate the tune to keep it within range. There's a singer here in Kansas City, who is from Dublin. Most of the time he flatly refuses to sing DB at all. He he considers it a tune to sing at funerals.

I'll also second the motion on The Happy Wanderer, Kumbaya, and dizzying circle chants. Leave those to the Girl and Boy Scouts around the campfire. Actually, they're probably pretty sick of them too. As one of those ancient folkies from the sixties, I well remember any number of trad songs that I wish had never been "found." They seemed to be the ones that either your family or an audience ALWAYS wanted you to sing. If I think of any more to consider for the "dump" list, I'll stick in another two cents worth or so.

Keep up the good work!
