Give it up "GUEST." We're talking about the folk era...and lots of people DID try (and fail) to sing like Frank Sinatra-Jack Jones, Vic Damone, heck-Harry Connick. How many years did Teresa Brewer last? Name three hits or million plus selling albums she EVER had. 4 out of 8 albums on Billboard? Dont think so. Rescue Martin guitars? Nope? Fill coffee houses, colleges, venues with copycats? Nope. Whaddya got against the KT? Or is it who's posting on their behalf? Me? MG? Go visit the Martin museum and see whose pix are there. It ain't Peter Paul and Mary, or Dylan, or Bob Gibson or Woody-and I love Woody. Sales IS influence--esp long term.
