Thread Name: Who got them started? (as folk singers/musicians)
Subject: RE: BS: Who got them started?
A television broadcasting of a Dubliners concert. I was six, and we taped it on my wee tape recorder. When they did their showpiece where #1 strums(I think) the guitar with one hand, and doing the chords on #2's banjo, while #2 picks the banjo with one hand while bowing #3's fiddle with the other and so on, until the last one is fed a pint while playing two others' instruments. THe tapr recorder was sitting on the coffe table, recording not only the concert, butalso my brother flushing the loo, and meself saying: When I grow up, I want to do that!
