Way to go Muckscapper! It's good to see that folk music of all varieties, (ballads, sea chanties, protest songs, etc. etc.) are being carried on. I'm sure that folk will outlive much of the forms of music(?) that are abundant today, much as it has outlived many of the styles of music that have come and gone over the years. Keep up the good work, all of you younger ones. While I have the floor, along the same vein, does anyone remember when country music was great? The early to mid 50's up into the mid 60's seems to be the Golden Era of Country Music. I have the two multi volume sets of Country's Family Reunion, hosted by Bill Anderson and they sure bring back some really good memories of days when we gathered around the radio to listen to the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday Nights....Ah, those were the days!
