Dave, that is the generational change happening in the Adirondacks. The concert at ALCA that I wrote of would have been ca. 1972. Most of the oldtimers: Frank Mitchell, Harvey Carr, Bobby Gates, et al and the oldtime "flatlanders" who were an essential part of the scene, like the Hochschilds, have gone on. its not that there are no genuine Adirondackers left. Far from it. But - musically speaking - folks like us are now part of the community memory... a real sea-change. Doesn't quite make us revivalists "folk", I don't think. But maybe we're not exactly "revivalists", in the coffehouse sense, either. A strange thing to aspire to. But I did, and I guess you do, too. - George
