RE: What is a folk song?: P.S.

[music <music...>]

I meant to add, re:  

> I think of art songs as someone's poetry set to music. 

and speaking of setting poetry to music, that not for nothing 
was a superb TV special -- I don't know if it was PBS -- on 
Dylan and the Beatles and the music they inspired called 
"Shakespeare in the Alley" (after, of course, a line in a
Dylan song).

Speaking of which, here's this week's OK-not-Jewish music
trivia question:

What's (sfaik) the only (commercially) recorded Beatles song 
with only acoustic instrumentation?

-- Robert Cohen
