Thread Name: Folk Artist Autobiograhy?
Subject: Folk Artist Autobiograhy?
Which folk music artist's autobiography - which has not yet been written   
-would you most like to read?
I'll kick things off with Archie Fisher. Apart from being a wonderful singer/songwriter/guitar player, he has moved in so many fascinating circles.
From the Edinburgh 1960s scene with such a bunch of interesting characters to his visits to North America with a different bunch of wonderful musicians.
The list of characters would - of course - include Stan Rogers, Bert Jansch, Davy Graham and so on.
I wish there were a lot more folk musician's autobiographies because it is very important that the music of the folk revival is written down and in particularly by its great artists.
