Subject: Rick's verrrry hard 60s folkies quiz.
I didn't say "folksingers" but "folkies" which to me can include songwriters as well.

Since a few good folks got into the "Bluegrass" quiz, and I've STILL no interest in the NFL, here's a few more. But I ain't goin' easy on ya...this is obscure stuff!

#1. Who wrote "Ramblin Rompin' Rovin' Days"? (hope I got that title right!)

#2. What artist wrote "On the Wilderness Road"? What artist had an album with that title?

#3. Who had the Biggest hit of "Where Have All The Flowers Gone"?

#4. Who was THE Folk photographer?

#5. Each of these artists had another profession. Name it.

Ian Tyson

Sandy Paton

Jimmie Driftwood

Eric Von Schmidt

#6. Who was Jack Elliot's singing partner in Europe?

#7. What artist was billed on her American debut album as "The World's Greatest Folksinger"?

#8. What artist was billed on his debut American recording as "The World's greatest Folk Fiddler"?

#9. Who was succeeded by Bernie Krause in a popular band?

#10. What male performer absolutely refused to put on a pair of pants during Woodstock?

#11. Who wrote the song "500 Miles"? Who had a huge Country hit with it?

#12. Who was Stan Rogers' lead guitarist?

#13. What Blues singer recorded a Yeats poem set to music, a Bert Brecht/Kurt Weill song, and debuted the songs of Joni Mitchell?

#14. Who wrote "The Faucets are Dripping"?

#15. What band broke up (mostly) because they'd recorded several Dylan songs (to be hip) but the lead singer refused to sing them live because they were "anti-American"?

Well that's a start. Hope ya find some of them interesting.
