Thread Name: Musician Origins... Before folk/trad?
Subject: RE: Musician Origins... Before folk/trad?
Scottish Bagpipe music in a marching band led on to Jazz clarinet in the New Orleans or Trad style.Then the intro to Folk music and I was lost.Sold my best Tenor sax to buy my first decent guitar (a Levin Goliath),then drifted into Assorted banjos and mandolins.The whistle was there from the start.Trad English and American songs and tunes,Contemporary ditto,Skiffle,Blues,Music Hall,Light Classical,and still a bit of jazz (mostly on the whistle ). Will that do??
