Crossing the Mississippi River (on a bridge) and the Clancy's "Brennan On The Moor" came on over WLS (Chicago). Then PP&M and the Kingston Trio and the Chad Mitchell Trio and then a girlfriend introduced me to Paxton and Ochs and I found Buffy and Lightfoot and the rest on my own.

Of course, my g'g' aunt and my grandmother always sang things like "Comin' Round the Mountain" and "Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be" -- and I wish now I'd appreciated them then. And the ones in German, like "Du, Du, Liegst Mir in Herzen" as well.
