Ian .... They ARE doing a folkie version! Christopher Guest and company whose latest hilarious achievement is "Best in Show" is working on a "documentary" of aging folkies. This oughta' be a riot. We might have gotten a little taste of it in "Best in Show" when Michael McKean (David St. Huggins in "Spinal Tap") sings Barbara Allen over the phone to his child (a hilarious scene since McKean plays a gay guy and he's in bed with his partner when he calls.....You HAVE to see "Best"..........It's completely hilarious, especially if you have ever seen the Westminister Kennel Club Show. The people are funny, but like Spinal Tap, not overplayed and very real.
