Hmmm... I may have to get this set, and introduce my aide, Audrey, to it.

On a recent trip from Virginia to New York, we were listening to the music she's collected on her ipod. There was a wide range -- all styles of rock, classical, jazz, spoken word, and yes, folk... But it was more of that "hokie folkie," to my ear, at least. She only recently discovered a version of "Froggie went a-courtin'" from a library CD of 18th C. music, and likes the song, but not the fluty voice of the female singer. I think I can be fairly confident that she wouldn't have that problem with Springsteen.

I think she'd really like this one (and I would, too).

Also, as she and her family are on the other end of the spectrum, politically, from Seeger, I have a feeling she's not as familiar with his music as I am. Yes, Seeger's main message is the joy of music (anyone who's seen his performance of Abiyoyo knows that), but politcal labels sometimes get in the way...
