Thread Name: Where are the Womenfolk?
Subject: RE: Where are the Womenfolk?
Babs, Elaine, and any other Womenfolk memeber who happens to be reading here:

First off, I'm amused that I found this thread. But there must be something in the air. The Womenfolk's music continues to surface. Here's MY story:

I collect records - to the point that I should join "vinyl anonymous".   The collection runs the gambit from turn of the (1900) century Berliner discs and Edison cylinders, to LPs, to CDs - Classical, jazz, swing, rockā€¦ you get the picture. I listen to a lot of different stuff.

Anyway, last night in the basement, I was finally digging through several boxes of discs that had been sitting there waiting to be sorted, listened to, filed, or just tossed. And I came across "The Womenfolk" 1964 album. Even though I lean heavy towards classical music, I'll listen to most anything - at least once. (By the way, just by way of reference, I'm 41 and youngest in a large family, so grew up with the sound of the 60s from siblings, and 40s swing from my parents.) I thought I'll throw this disc on, give it listen while I'm sorting through the stacks, and most likely ditch it in the pile headed out the door.

Well, two hours later, I found myself putting it back on the stereo time and time again in-between other records I was sorting. I'm not a real big folk music fan, but your sound was great! I was surprised at how strongly this record held my attention. It's still sitting on the lid of the turntable for when I return.
So, needless to say, I've found yet another group to collect. (Now where am I gonna put another record self?)

Womenfolk members: Your music continues to please, amuse and lift the soul. Many thanks for your music, from a listener who rarely has the opportunity to thank the performer.
