Hello folks. I was wondering, if I may pick some brains out there, who, what, and how did you become folkies? For me, my brother turned me on to Bob Dylan's early records, Joan Baez, Woody, etc. The first Dylan record, I STILL blast it on my stereo to this day,although,I understand he was not the main guitarist on it. I realize folk was alive and well long before he came along, I was just curious as to anyone elses story, how they came to love folk. By the way, I've been posting some stuff and asking some questions here on Mudcat,and I neglected to introduce myself. My name is Danny, I live here in the jungles of Jersey. U.S.A., and some folks call me Clifton.(It's a long story). I've been playing guitar for almost thirty years,although it doesn't really show.

Since I've started posting, I am shocked to find out how little I know. And I still haven't figured out how to make a new paragraph on this bloomin' thing.

Anyway, what are your stories? How did you start listening to this massive body of work we call folk?
