Thread Name: Folklore: Violin
Subject: RE: Folklore: Violin
I like these because it mentions the fact that all influential musicians are not known by everyone at the time they live. All of these statements are true.

For instance, I don't think Pete Seeger needs the Nobel Peace Prize because he is already known by those who really care. Louis Armstrong never got the Nobel Peace Prize.

People like Pete and others in the folk field are already beloved by many.

The great ones don't need the accolades of the general public. They will be historically
recognized in times to come.

First, the music, then the personality.

Shakespeare may be wrong about "The good being oft interred in their bones"
