I used to be an under-30 folkie. Now I'm an over-30 folkie. This year I'll become a 40+ folkie. I learn more about folk music every year, and "discover" new performers, and learn to play new songs.I think age DOES make a difference in a lot of things. Perspective, for one.
But I've been a folkie since high school and that hasn't changed in the last 20-odd years (and some of them were REALLY odd).
