Raymond Crooke on youtube My aim on this channel is to share my love of folk music. My posts include original as well as traditional songs and covers of my favourite singer song-writers, such as Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Eric Bogle.
I have been singing folk songs for about 50 years, and play guitar (badly) and fiddle (even more badly).
I have produced 5 CDs:
Axis of Evil and other True Stories
Laws of Chance
Gospel Ship
Pigs Might Fly and other Politically Incorrect Ballads
Who Needs Reality? (with Lew Dite and Ukulele Katie)
I have also collaborated with Lew Dite on a CD of American folk songs simply called "Songs".
I hope you enjoy my channel. All comments are appreciated, including constructive criticism.
Thank you to all those who have subscribed and/or commented.
