Thread Name: Folk rock - Got a favorite? (songs)
Subject: RE: Folk rock - Got a favorite?
Wow! What a wonderful walk down Memory Lane. Thanks for starting this thread, Mick, and thank you everyone for sharing and jogging my brain cells.

It would be really hard for me to pick a favorite but probably the Byrd's & Buffalo Springfield would be in the top 5 of my favorite folk rock groups from those days. My favorite song would be which ever one I was listening to at the moment. "Turn, Turn, Turn", "Daniel and the Sacred Harp" by the Band, "Tamborine Man", and don't forget early Elton John (Tumbleweed Connection). Somebody mentioned Chad & Jeremy, and I have forgotten the names, but there were some other British Duo's and groups doing folk rock back then that I really enjoyed.

By the way, someone remind me, who did "Ferry 'Cross the Mersey" (sorry if the spelling is wrong.) Gee, I may have to bust out some of my old albums (still have a turntable and every album I [and my parents] ever owned---but no CD player. Duh! I just realized my computer is a CD player.
