Thanks for the refresh, katlaughing -- I never saw any of this great stuff before.

I bought and read every issue of Sing Out! for several years, around '63 to '65 or so; it was the source of much of my earliest education as a guitar player and songster, and also an important part of my introduction to leftism and bohemianism in general.

I had long since forgotten about it, and had no idea it was still being published. I suppose that proves that I'm not a true folkie these days. As a listener and fan, my musical interests include a pretty wide range of "roots" genres, including stuff as far out as modern jazz, jam-band rock, world music, etc. As a performer, however, I'm a strictly acoustic type, capable of using no more than 5 or 6 chords per key -- pretty folkish, in other words. So, I suppose I have no excuse not to resume my relationship with Sing Out!
