Folk process

Alright kiddo, let me explain the folk process to you in a way you will understand.

You know how sometimes you hear a song or a story and you really like it? And then, maybe you want to change it a little bit to make it your own or to fit better with the way you like to do things? Well, that's sort of like what the folk process is.

The folk process is when people take an old song, story, or other piece of culture and they change it a little bit to fit their own style or beliefs. It's like passing something down from generation to generation, adding a little bit of your own personality each time.

So, let's say your grandma taught you a song that she learned when she was a little girl. Maybe you really like how it sounds, but you want to make it a little more upbeat or change the words a little to fit your own life. When you sing it again, it might be a little different from how your grandma taught it to you, but that's okay. You're just making it your own.

The folk process is a way to keep old traditions alive, while at the same time making them new and exciting. It's like a big game of telephone, where the message gets changed a little bit each time it's passed on. So, whether you're singing a song or telling a story, remember that it's okay to change things up a bit and make it your own. That's what the folk process is all about!
