Mastering the Art of the Folk Song (Editor's Note: Joseph F. Thomas, a sophomore The anist's hair is of utmost importance. A few of the photography major from College Park, Ga., here examines accepted hair styles: the art of folk singing. Folk singing devotees are asked to refrain from smashing Thomas' typewriter-or for that matter, his camera.) There is a trend today to the folk song. Anists such as the Kingston Trio; Peter, Paul and Mary; Bob Dylan, and Daphnis Eumolpus have revived this an form to its deserved status. In keeping up with the times, every iorward-thinking young person should become familiar witb tbe technique in presenting the folk song. Our purpose is to give the 'BRAMBLE BUSH' 'mE UNKNOWN' 'SOFT STRING' background and instruction needed to acquire tbis mastery. The first imponant tool to the folk singer and/or Eacb style may be worn by male or female singers. writer is his instrument. The generally accepted instrument A final note on personal appearance: Shoes should never is the guitar, althougb tbe clavicbord or bagpipe are good be worn. Sandals are acceptable. But for that genuine substitutes. It is not necessary to be able to play the .ethnic image, bare feet are recommended. mstrument, but one should learn to hold it properly so as to convey his "image" to his audience. ACCEPTABLE BETTER YET As for the singing itself. little can be said. A good voice need not be considered an insurmountable obstacle. If one bas a good VOice. it can-witb practice-be sup­ pressed. It should be remembered however, that the folk singer should sound as woeful and unhappy as possible. As a suggestion. we recommend having an unsuccessful love affair befo",;; eacb performance. LIKE TlUS Also imponant in the performer's "image" is his HELPFUL personal appearance. To sing ethnic one must appear Now for the most difficult pan-writing the folk song. ethnic. An effective way to achieve this is to run clothing The chording. melody and harmony in folk music are most through a cement mixer. easily created if the aspiring composer knows nothing about music. Such knowledge spoils "natural creativity." which can only be achieved through raw impulse. IMPOSSIBLE The words of the song should tell a story, unless the writer strives to become neo-ethnic. At any rate. the last word of each line should not rhyme. as this tends to sound "phony:' The meter of the lines should be free. To confine the meter to a repeated pattern is, of course, unforgivable. A sample of free folk verse: Oh CLOTHING CARE Hey day fiddle mo humm, My love has left me all Also, if possible. the singer should grow a beard. If alone and this is not possible, a dirty face will suffice. crying, oh ho, And My favorite girl is ·gone, hey fiddle day The possibilities are elldless. Now that you have the know-how. forget it. Your folk song should be original and un-spoiled. Remember that the most imponant factor in folk singing is that it be ONE OF THESE WILL DO impulsive and/or repulsive. Sto", by JM."hf.
