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.

#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"?

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