Hello I was asked what kind of sones I like and I guess that I'll respond I like all kinds of songs but perfer folk songs Songs of the people even more than Rock and Roll Rock music seems to have lost it I think but that is my opion. Folk music has more power to get across stories about the human condition. Woody Guthrie Pete Seeger I guess now that I am thinking of it so does some country music. Music has alway been the medium to convey the news and even today it can as the major media is not really reporting the news or what fits thier guidelines.
So it is my opion that it is both the time for a revalution and a major folk move to make it's way back to the fore front as it has in the past we are in the need of some major social change not only here in this country but this is a start
What does this have to do with poverty , It has a lot to do with poverty Folk music or for what we now call folk music has for most of it life has been about exposing the evils of socity. and in order for something to be done about thoes evils they have to be exposed.
Folk music do what Charles Dicken did with his novels over a hundred years ago. The main message nothing has never really changed only the means to get around the laws that were meant to protect the working population and those in need
Sorry about the spelling I only have a very short time here in the puplic library
