Thread Name: Folk Singers who Have Died
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died
Did I miss something, or -- incredibly -- has Dave Van Ronk, one of the revival's towering figures, not been mentioned? What about Paul Clayton? The Clancy Brothers? Bill Monroe? Lester Flatt? These aren't exactly obscure people.
Meantime, living performers get listed, along with some musicians who can't be called folk by any definition. Weird.
