Thread Name: BS: Thirty-something folkies (???)
Subject: Thirty-something folkies (???)
I am beginning to think I'm a bit of an enigma, and I'd love to be proven wrong. I consider myself a dyed-in-the-wool folkie but I feel like I'm either much younger or much older than the majority of the people I see involved in folk music. Is it just that 30-somethings are busy with their lives elsewhere and only do the music thing in private? Did folk music skip most of my generation? Are there a bunch of closet folkies somewhere I should know about? Or am I just having a mid-life crisis at age 36? Looking forward to your thoughts. . .
