was testing a new search engine, and inadvertantly came to this amazing page

You can find a quotation to support any thesis you have about folk & traditional music there.

""..idle youths [...] loathing honest labour and dispising lawfull trades, betakes themselves to a vagrant and viscious life, in every corner of cities and market townes in the realme singing and selling ballads." Henry Chettle, (1592)"

Great page, Bill D. - I suggest it be "pointed" to the next time someone starts one of those 'What is Folk Music' threads !!! :)

I find that quite often I use German, Dutch, Japanese and sometimes French websites when I am looking for words to a particular song, and sometimes discussion. This Dutch site is a good addition to my bookmarks.
