Subject: Folklore: Who Said This?
I think is a near quote from John Sebastian, but I have not been able to find it, nor attribution. Can anyone help me find the exact quote and who said it? Talking about the early NYC folk scene. "First you'd go to ... and learn the blues in E. Then you'd go to ... and learn the blues in G. And then you'd go to ... and learn the blues in C. And then you'd be a folk musician". I don't know if I have any of that right, but I remember (?) hearing it and thinking, That's how they did it before the Internet.
