## Resource

This is going to sound familiar; a lot of what I had to say about hymns applies to folk songs, as well. Of course, there is a sacredness that goes along with hymns that you don't find in folk songs but that doesn't mean we should skip them. Folk songs pass culture from one generation to the next and help us learn about certain time periods, people, and places. They're also a pretty trustworthy source of entertainment for your kids. Like I said last time , singing has been a part of humanity for all of time and it's only recently that we've consigned it to the "experts" and you really only hear people singing on stage or in church. Let's sing in our homes, too. To sing is to be human. READ MORE AND FIND LINKS ON MY SUBSTACK
