GUEST,Don Firth Little known '60s Folk Singers (1004* d) RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers 02 Sep 07


Seraffyn.

I remember in the early 1960s rummaging through the folk music bin at a favorite record store and spotting this record. As I recall, the cover photo showed a man, dressed like a medieval troubadour and carrying a lute, striding down a road. At first, I thought, "Is this guy some kind of nut?" Then, after thinking it over, decided, "What a great image! Modern folk singers, buskers, and such, whether they realize it or not, are following a tradition that is over a thousand years old—at least! And here's a person who is not only aware of that, but who honors it."

I was in a bit of a rush at the time and didn't listen to the record. When I came back, it was gone. I always wish I had, at least, listened to it.

Thanks, Peter!
