The Kingston Trio came out of San Francisco, and there and at places like UCLA they were even bigger than in the midwest.

Yes, the folk community has always been divided. I remember the commercial vs. purist arguements in Sing Out magazine over 40 years ago and quite frankly, the arguement is as tired as the chorus of Tom Dooley or for you who've got to have it with no teeth, Tom Dula.

BTW, I just saw an ad in the entertainment section of an upcoming "rock and roll" reunion show starring none other than Leslie Gore, Lou Christie, and Bobby Rydel. No thank you, I'm not going. But in the picture, Leslie looked real, real good!
