We now have "Nu -Folk"
“If it was never new, and it never gets old, then it’s a folk song.”....
I used to sing at a weekly folk event in the place where I lived in the late 1980's-1990, up in Weardale. There was always something going on in that small town.
All songs tell stories, but folk songs in particular lean towards narrative.
"A northern county maid down to London did stray
Although with her nature, it did not agree
And so she'd repent, and often did lament
Pining again in the north for to be
"Oh the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Do flourish at home in my own own countreeee-eeee"
I don't recall if she wandered off, got lost in a wood with other, rubbish useless trees in it, and lay down and died of a broken heart.
Easier to go back home.
Now, does this graphic belong under general FY1 , amusement or inspiration. Or annoyance.
You folk can decide.
