Subject: RE: Un-folkie
Hey, all sorts of interesting stuff on here.
Wesley: Corduroy is very folky and it makes a cool noise when you move. Polly and Esther are not a folkie duo.
The Folk E: I shop at Walmart all the time. There's one right down at the bottom of the hill. I could drive further away to boycott Walmart, but then I'd be wasting gas, poluting the environment and contributing to global warming.
Bert: Ska is an earlier style of Island music. The Police purportedly were influenced by it. And I liked the Police.
Will Fly: I too love the music of the 20's, 30's and 40's. When I felt that folk music was getting too precious at a folk festival, I've done Fat's Domino's Blue Monday, Carl Perkin's Blue Suede Shoes or Searchin' by the Coasters.
After awhile most fiddle tunes sound the same to me... but then I seem more attuned to songs with words, rather than tunes.
I love the Boston Celtics. Not as enthusiastic about Celtic music.
I don't enjoy "Jamming." Or Jammies for that matter.
