Lately it has been kinda interesting. I play in my park about every night. Just sit on the bench and practice. Many of the young high school kids come over sit and listen and talk to me. To them the music is great, not because of me, but because they never heard that kind of music before. I have to remind myself that these kids grew up with rap, and grunge rock and modern country. So folk music is new to them. I wish radio stations would start playing it again even just once a week on a show. Outside of the PBS type of thing. We tend to think that the young hate our music. I am finding that is completely wrong. It is so new to them that they get into it.

One kid with his 16 year old girlfriend said, "can you play that song about old joes bar" ... His sixteen year old girlfriend said .. "Dah Tim it is called St. James Infirmary Blues"   I just smiled. To them it was a brand new song ..

folk could again be very much alive and well .. If we had a mainstream way of introducing it to the young I think
