I can't wait for it to finally show up around here... I missed the folk music scene the first time around, basically because I wasn't born yet... Still, I'm thinking it must be some prescribed course of study: first Kingston Trio, then on to the next, and the next... I went the whole way through all the groups, right up to the present! (I picked them all up at used record stores when I became interested in folk music. Funny how they sounded okay at first, and then started sounding hokey, and I'd move on to the next--kinda like my own personal "folk scare!") Reading these posts reminded me of one of those old Kingston Trio albums. I can't remember what song it was, but one of the guys was introducing it, and he says, in quite a serious and scholarly tone of voice, "It was ORIGINALLY a love song, and possibly a lullaby BEFORE THAT..." Guest could have lifted that line right off the album and put it into the movie! Gotta see it... Denise:^)
