Thread Name: Movies/Music
Subject: RE: Movies/Music
As a film programmer, I see a lot of flics, and while I deplore the historical inaccuracies in many, I can't help but think the positive aspects --like introducing music and other cultural ideas -- greatly outweigh the bad.

Like many above, my introduction to folk music was through the commerical "college boy" groups, like the Kingston Trio, and I've been wending my way back to the roots ever since. What I'm curious about though, are those lucky few who were reared in an atmosphere of traditional music -- hearing fiddles, banjos, guitars, old ballads, etc.,live, not on the radio or TV, from the time they were toddlers. Do they then go through a reverse process when they mature; moving from traditional to the Beatles to Twisted Sister to Rap???
