on thesubject of people using he folk scene as stepping stone to pop stardom. I sort of disagree with GSS - good egg as his.

ater all in the 60's wehad loads of pop stas come from the folk club. Dylan Donovan, Baez, Cat Stevens,|Joni Mitchell,Don Partridge, Don Maclean

we had loads of people in he folk clubs wanting to hear those songs nd loadsof people wanting to play them.

What have we got these days.

many wonderful guardians of the tradition- no   hands safer I should imagine. but could any of them write a song that good? I imagine it was a stern discipline going in to bat against the beatles.
