From: stallion chicken and egg, chinese whispers (is that PC now?)In our family history one family has about 8 children with at least five different spellings of the surname in the parish register, it was how the scribe interpreted what they were told and the illiterate couldn't correct it. And tunes being passed down is hardly Oral as mas just pointed out. |

I am reminded of an awful Tom Lehrer monologue about gargling, which was originally practiced only furtively by the elders of some tribe in the far-off jungle, who passed it down from father to son as part of their oral tradition... |

They champion people passing through town doing concerts in the Chicago area mostly. I've participated in their doings for since the 1980s---when they bagan. The term has nothing to do with academic folklore. It is just a clever play on words that was never intended as a way to muddy the waters. (Muddy was a bluesman ;-) ORAL TRADITION is the folkloristic world's term used for the mechanism--the process--the transmission of the lore and the songs, the music and stuff. Art Thieme |
