coldjam Has The Folk Community Changed? (87* d) RE: Has The Folk Community Changed? 08 Feb 05


I agree! One "kind" of music can get really booooring. For that matter, one person as well, unless they are extraordinary or trying to mix it up.I have spent way too many evenings listening to a singer-songwriter who said most of what he had to say in the first 5 songs, and only plays in one key. Converesely, a hot blue grass band wears on the nerves if you can't dance and have to just sit there for hours. But before I offend anybody I really do like it all! And music is a great way to get into a community and meet people and also bless the socks off'n 'em! We have musician friends who voluteered in the elementry school. Taught the kids to square dance.Did sing alongs. Gave em ocarinas and lessons. It was really great.We've done the nursing home and community events, like a township party.

Jim said"-absolutely! I bet you know Les Gustafson Zook, Dan Gellert, John Long?" The names don't ring a bell...
