Thread Name: Celebrate 'Folk'
Subject: RE: Celebrate 'Folk'
I've never wanted to listen to, or play, much else. My parents used to let us stay up late on Saturday nights to hear The Midnight Special on Chicago's WFMT. I started out liking the Bill Cosby routines they would play, but stayed for the music. I could never understand performers who would play folk venues, but put down the music. I've never had a problem telling people who asked what kind of music I played that I played folk music.
