Tom, I copied the information on your website on how to play the B&T strum. Hope to have time to master it.
Do you play? If so, do you ever go to the Plank Road jams? - would love to hear them do some of the B&T songs. I have done Tomorrow is a Long Time, since I heard them do it --
And that was a loooong time ago, B&T were the stars of my college (Occidental in LA) homecoming concert in '61. The next year it was some new group - Peter, Paul and Mary - who nobody had heard much of.
The LA folk shows used to play B&T a lot in the 60's and, I think, the Mexican duo that B&T based their arrangements on. Was there one or two Mexican duos after which B&T patterned themselves?
I've got the lp of that Santa Monica concert, the jokes were generally not the greatest, but I still play in "frog minor"!!
I've always enjoyed what I call the cabaret style of folk music and B&T were some of the best at that. Much better musicians than their pale imitators, the Bro Smo.
