T THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, MA"Y' r TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, MA?! CHAOTIC STATE: Seeger Describes Folksinging Treiid By JOHN BRYANT "There are no hard and fast rules defining the folk song in America; the scene is presently chaotic," folk singer Pete Seeger said Sunday night. "However, this chaos is a good thing. Form doesn't matter; the: important thing is getting good4 songs," he continued.' "A thousand and a half badr songs are written for every good: song that comes along," accord- ing to Seeger. "Hence the current popularity of folk music can only help the art. More songs are be- ing written and sung by ordinary people, who after all, are the real < base of folk singing." DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN I Seeger does not feel that poli- tically oriented folk songs are any more predominant than they have been at other times. "Every crisis produces songs with social mean- ing," he said. The current songs being written about integration, and nuclear War are such exam- ples. Politically oriented folk songs have historically leaned toward the left because of their origins, according to Seeger. "In Europe the wealthy classes could afford. to have classical music written for them and performed in their castles; the poor people developed folk music to be sung in the streets or while at work. "Thus folk songs became asso- ciated with the causes of the com- mon people. When folk singing came over to America it retained its political leanings."

PETE SEEGER ... social determinants Seeger also noted that songs de- scribing day-to-day occurrences are also being written extensively today. These, too, represent a part of American folk music, he feels. , Both types of songs are spring- ing up in all parts of the country. "I have never seen an area that didn't have some sort of folk mu- sic. "Michigan, for example, has songs left over from the lumbering era, songs from various ethnic groups, such as the Ukranians, Slovaks and Scotch, and songs of protest written during the '30's by auto workers." invited to begin training in June, July and August will be notified within two weeks.
