Subject: RE: HELP CHOOSE 20 MOST POPULAR IRISH SONGS From: greg stephens Date: 30 Oct 02 - 02:13 PM David Ingerson's previus post leaves me very mystified, as he thinks "folk" and "traditional" are two different incompatible categories. I've seen a million discussions of "meaning of folk" but I think this is the first time I've come across this distinction. Which items in the list are "folk" and which"traditional"? do explain. |

Subject: RE: HELP CHOOSE 20 MOST POPULAR IRISH SONGS From: David Ingerson Date: 30 Oct 02 - 02:07 PM You've set yourself quite a task. You include Raglan Road which is not strictly traditional--actually newly composed--and leave out another popular one, The Little Beggarman. It also depends on your audience. Some audiences would consider your list more folk and not so traditional. Other than your ideas and our feedback, how are you deciding that one is more popular than another? Good luck with your project! David |
