" you may find I was a folkie before I was a folkie." Sorry, no you weren't, nor do I believe you are now. My learning is on-going, one day at a time, one tune at a time, one set of lyrics at a time, and , you know, I still don't know anywhere near enough songs, and I've at it for forty years, if you want to talk about time quantity. Other than as a point of reference, Walkaboutsverse, I have absolutley NO interest in your work, and anyone that suggests they learned most of what they know and I quote "I'd say I learn about 80% of what goes on in the first couple of months (not years)" I'd say not.
