On a more serious note than my last posting. The Demise of folk music has been discussed occasionally in the thirty plus years that I have been a listener. But it won't happen as long as their is a human need to pass on our traditions. (music being in some sense a celebration of who we are) Not all music, turn on the radio, it becomes apparent that much music today is ephemeral, and meaningless, built to be sold...abandoned...rewritten...sold again. While it is good that some folksingers get payed for what they do, that is the benchmark by which our detractors guage "the demise", don't fall for it. Sing for the song, Boys (and girls) just like you did before all of the bright lights, and cocaine, and bright painted ladies got ahold of your soul! Thanks for the roadmap brother Ochs. I can ramble with the best.
