Where is Pocatello?

I'd like to speak on behalf of the folkies who were not alive in the 1960s, although I'm sure many of us wouldn't have minded being there. I happen to love nearly anything that is called folk music here in the US, from Woody Guthrie to PP&M's recent album. I am 19-years-old and I play guitar, banjo, and dabble in mandolin. I love to sing the old stuff. Although my close friends don't necessarily share my love for the pre-60s folk music, they absolutely *love* Alice's Restaurant, Bob Dylan, and Simon and Garfunkel. We *do* exist, and we're just freshmen in college!

As for the New York region, I know that Roy Bookbinder (who sings '20s-'30s blues) is still hitting the small music and comedy clubs. There is a folk club in Massapequa and I can't wait to see Work o' the Weavers, the Weavers tribute group. Little Toby Walker is a little more like country, but he learned blues and ragtime guitar from the greats. To me, this is folk.

Folk Music *definitely* exist at places like the Clearwater Revival every father's day and on the ship Clearwater itself.

Not to mention hope for the future.
