Guest, you are deliberately twisting and misinterpreting what I have written, and at the same time, displaying that you know absolutely NOTHING about folk music and its origins and traditions.

I think Charles Seeger, Bess Lomax Hawes, John Lomax Jr., Archie Green, and Roger Abrahams know quite a bit about folk music, and ALL of them sang, although they were not known primarily as singers. I heard John Lomax Jr. sing at the Berkeley Folk Festival in 1960, songs that he and his father and brother collected. And Roger Abrahams is a particularly good singer, in fact, as is Bess Hawes (who was one of the Almanac Singers early on).

Guest, it is patently obviously that you know nothing about folk music.

And you will note that, in the photo you linked to, Pete's shirt does not have a button-down collar. So you're a sartorial ignoramus as well!

Just be a good little troll. Go away and stop pestering the adults!
