Subject: RE: am i the only youngster into folk and bl
Our youngest band member ain't turned two yet. She's a full participant, has been since before she was born.

Start em early!

Hmmm. That would explain.... my son... when I was carrying him... a BeeGees concert! (Yes! I confess! I liked it!) But also Itzhak Perlman.... and countless Midnight Special radio programs (folk) on WFMT Chicago and folk clubs.... OK, yeah, I can hope the folk and blues influence prevails!

We liked to tease our teen boys that it was a real shame when a generation had to turn to their parents music and rebel against their culture's music, instead of the usual obverse. Hard to argue generation differences when everyone in the car is singing along with Tom Waits or Joh Hurt on the tape player.
