Lonesome EJ Need input on youth in folk music (60* d) RE: Need input on youth in folk music 09 Oct 15


Regarding the comments about humorous songs of the 60s and 70s putting off younger singers, I concur. There is this strain of corny humor in song that takes place at any Folk gathering. While a satirical version of The Bonny Ship the Diamond may be amusing to older folkies, youngster will view it as painful in the same way they view other strained humor, like puns.
