Thread Name: Whatever happened to folksinger Lynn Gold
Subject: RE: Whatever happened to folksinger Lynn Gold
I have Lynn's album: it was such a favourite of mine in the mid-60's. I wasn't very happy at home or at school and I used to play this album and some by Joan Baez, every evening after our family meal and after finishing any homework I needed to do. I loved to sing (still do) and I'm a soprano, so singing along with Lynn Gold and Joan Baez was my escapism: I was "on stage" every evening- I'm sure it kept me sane. I taught myself folk guitar and sang quite often at folk clubs: my absolute favourite song to perform was an adapted version of Lynn Gold's "Bonny Boy" from her album.

So pleased to read that Lynn is still around, still singing. Lynn- thank you for your beautiful singing: you helped a very unhappy teenager to cope (and to turn into a happy adult!)
