Way to go, Maryrrf!
It was hearing songs like the ones on your set list that got me actively interested in folk music and ballads back in 1952, and I've been at it ever since.
I found those ballads to be contagious. I'd say that it's a worthy ambition to become the "Typhoid Maryrrf of Balladry." You never know who might hear you and suddenly say to themselves, "I want to do that! I want to sing songs like those!"
