I don't know personally consider the late '60s/early '70s a golden era...a middle age perhaps. I much preferred the era some eight or ten years earlier...Hoyt Axton, The Clancy Brothers, the various local acts which amalgamated into the New Christy Minstrels, etc. and too many to remember. Any era with James Taylor is dross to me.

When I get back home in a few days, I'll pull out my well worn Hootenanny at the Troubadour c. 1963...that'll be my American Masters salute to the Troub.
