I was talking with "bride Judy" this morning and I stumbled on an interesting thought. This might make for good postings:

At my age of 171 years, I have run into many, many folksingers. Some have reached "celebrity status". I have a theory, and I'd love to read your opinions on this, that those "celebrities" who last ... survive well ... are those same people who are really "nice people." Define niceness however you want. I'm going to suggest a few names of "celebrities I've run into that fit this category. People who know me well might notice that there are lot's of "celebrities" I've met that are NOT on this list. They shall remain nameless ... and with darned good reason. My list of really "good hearted and nice celebrities":

Pete Seeger,Guy Carawan, Jeff Warner, Jed Marum, Linda Allen, Tom Paxton, Merritt Herring, Don Firth.

As soon as I close this, I know I'll think of scores more. Bob(deckman)Nelson
