My goodness. Where to start. Before I came to Mudcat I knew what traditional music was. And folk music. I still do, but no one else in the world agrees with me. How can sooo many people be wrong? Many songs share a 'similar' history to that of Child #295. I'm thinking of "House of the Rising Sun" and "St Jame's Hospital". Streets of Laredo. Where does THAT fit? Good thread, Michael.
