kytrad (Jean Ritchie) 1954 and All That - defining folk music (994* d) RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music 26 Mar 09


Two comments on my singing, in my lifetime, that I treasure: One from Maud Karpeles. We had just met, and she had asked me to illustrate a longago lecture in NYC. She introduced me with: "And here is Jean Ritchie to sing the songs. She cannot be termed a folksinger, because she has been to college."

The other one from Alan Lomax, also to an audience, "Of course it's a folksong, because she's a folk."
