GUEST,Mrbisok@aol When did your 'folk' switch flip on? (84* d) When did your 'folk' switch flip on? 15 May 00


I remember I was painting my daughter's bedroom with the radio on. For some reason I was taping the show on my Radio Shack boombox. I taped Eric Bogel's "Green Fields of France/Pvt Willie McBride." I played it over and over about 50 times. I instantly knew that, musically, I'd never be the same. It was like a conversion, seeing the true light. I've since realized that "Green Fields of France" is kind of pretentious and Bogel's other stuff is mostly hot air, but that song pulled me in.That was 11 years ago. I went thru a Celtic phase, progressive country, old-timey, John Gorka, etc. Anybody wanna share?
