It all started innocently enough. My Dad brought home a couple of Kingston Trio records.That kept me quite happy for several years. Everything probably would have been fine; I would have grown up a happy, normal human , but it was not to be. It all came crashing down when Mom went out and bought an album by *gasp* Peter, Paul and Mary!!

Suddenly, too much was never enough. I had to have MORE -- Dylan,Tom Paxton, Malvina Reynolds.It wasn't long before I had to start seeking out the harder stuff -- Pete Seeger, Frank Proffit, PHIL OCHS!!!

But the moment I knew that it was all over; that my soul was irretrievable was when I STARTED WRITING MY OWN SONGS!!!!!

STOP ME BEFORE I YODEL AGAIN!!!!! :>))
