well i think that was a wonderful thing to do.

i'm very grateful for the folksongs i learned in singing together. althought it did seem a bit tripey at the time.

certainly i was still very negative feeling about folk music - right up until stuff like The Limeliters and The Kingston Trio started coming on the radio.

it was only really meeting people in folk clubs singing the songs that I'd heard as a child in singing together the made me re-evaluate them.
