My interest in folk and blues was the result of listening to my mom's & aunt & uncles recordings ofPeter Paul & Mary Harry Belafonte Simon & Garfunkel Judy Collins & Pete Seeger.
It wasn't until I was 17 or so that I discovered the Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee recordings, which in turn lead me to Rev Gary Davis, & Mississippi John Hurt.
And one of the PP&M songs that I used to listen to over and over and over was Bob Dylan's dream. It was the first instance of liking a song that made me choke up.
Best Regards
