GUEST	The Folk Music Hall of Fame (20)	RE: The Folk Music Hall of Fame	21 Feb 22
Your comments sort of echo my feelings about it too. "Folk Star" seems like an oxymoron to me. I wanted to get feedback. I think a Folk Music Museum that would recognize the real folk musicians would be welcome. In this, I think you have to include "folkies", non-traditional singers as well. Where would the Great Folk Scare be without Pete Seeger? He was a one-man PR firm for honest folk music from the 1940's on. He introduced Bluegrass banjo to New York City before it was popular. He made people aware of international folk songs by including them in his programs.
