12 Apr 05 - 09:58 PM (#1459586) Subject: Origins: fold-song From: GUEST,R.Lewis I keep running across the term "fold-song" used not only with folk music but also with pop songs. I haven't been able to pin down any kind of a definition though. Can anyone help me on this? Thank you in advance. |

"k" is hit by the third finger of the right hand, and "d" by the third finger of the left hand - unless the typist gets left and right confused. It happens to me all the time. -Joe Offer- |

There is a NZ fold song website. Shenandoah, American fold song, arr. James Erb. "A spiritual is a type of African American fold song" Fold song- A ballad, a ditty, a popular song. Used in Japanese translation. ?? Confusing. |

A song which may be folded twice lengthwise, then in 45-degree angles and interlocked, for use as a cootie-catcher, q.v. It sounds rather muffled in performance. 2. a song abandoned in mid-performance because the performer has forgotten the rest of the words. |

15 Apr 05 - 11:21 AM (#1462186) Subject: RE: Origins: fold-song From: radriano Naw, you've all got it wrong. A fold-song is any song sung while folding something, usually clothes. What else can you fold? Well, I sometimes like to sing when I'm folding my hands and occasionally when I'm folding thoughts in my head although that's a more abstract type of folding. Here's another type of folding. I work in an office and when I'm doing filing or making labels for folders I like to think of this work as "folding" - of course, I usually sing to my self while doing this. Radriano |

While singing, no doubt. |
