Well, I , too perform folk music. I have been performing since the mid-seventies ( Though I admit I took 1982-------1996 off ). The music is typically contemporary folk , a large mix of original songs and a growing number of traditional numbers arranged with a contempoary folk feel. I perform alone ( because my timing is off and I'm told I have bad breath.........only a rumour ) on a Martin D-28 and a Gibson J-100 in the back of a 1962-Ford Fairlane Convertible in the Western and Central New York area. ( just teasing on the automobile ). If you ever see me perform , request the song , I do regarding the pharmaceutical miracle : Viagara.............It's so hard to sing and then I'll know your a mad mud-catter.
