Subject: RE: Folk Singer v Entertainer
Remember in the sixties we had significant protest songs to move an audience;that was part of the education. Although I saw many professionals in the sixties and knew some,the best I ever saw was a fellow named Rick Curtis in Fort Wayne Indiana. He was a very bouncy,enthusiastic performer who played fantastic guitar.Like Seeger at his best. He could play Living in the country and do the whistling. The sheer joy of his love for the songs and the instrument came across. Exceptional.
