Had the rare opportunity to step away from Irish trad., last week, and do a two hour folk concert. I had so much fun putting together songs that I'm only just now realizing, shaped who I am today. Amongst those songs were two I'd heard from Judy Collins. One was "sons of" with the evergreen line "some went to war...some never came home" and then "My Father" which has become poignant to me even tho' my "Paris" is Dublin. I can't help but saying this with my tongue in my cheek and a bit of a giggle "FOLK MUSIC ROCKS"!!!! (you may quote me)
