Thread Name: Help: Why so little interest in performing 60s
Subject: Why so little interest in performing 60s
I have noticed for a long time that it is nearly impossible to hear live performances where oldie folk songs (ie Kingston Trio, Peter Paul and Mary among others) is performed. (that is of course except the original artists still performing at large venues) I'm talking of club sized venues. Recently I have joined a group that had played back in the 60's and are reviving this music, and so far we have had terrific reviews, but the point is that everyone says "We just don't hear this style of music anymore" There seems to be a tremendous interest albiet silent for these great old songs. Anyone have an opinion?
