Guest - well, the 1960's American scene would be a good place to start. Why do they call it the Folk Scare ? I remember seeing about two Hootenanny shows on TV and then it was on to Rock n' Roll.

I guess I'm interested in who coined the term revival. I was in college in those years, and just learning to play guitar. I remember hearing the Kingston Trio, and the college boy groups, and then getting turned on to Doc Watson and more rootsy musicians. But from inside those times it's hard to take an objective step back and see it as history.
