Back in my touring days, I traveled in a logging crummy, from Edmonton, AB, Canada , north to Lesser Slave Lake, for the wonderful North Country Faire, with Baby Gramps. During the lengthy drive, I watched him write his thoughts in a old-fashioned notebook. A quiet character, who unrolled into this amazing persona on stage ! This was back in 1985, when I was in a duo called Glee Club. Memorable time !
Dude, that's folk music - even the original stuff usually goes back to something else. You can't really say someone "stole" a tune as much as understand that it's following a tradition of actually learning songs that go back in tradition and making them your own.
