Thread Name: Are all folkies over fifty?
Subject: RE: Are all folkies over fifty?
The young folks around here seem to be pretty strong as individuals, and in it for the music. We've had a very VERY small number show up on their own and hang around with the old farts. It's important to note that the old farts around here tend to welcome them and respect them as fellow music-lovers. Other young folks may come and bring their friends. They can socialise anywhere, but they like the music and stay.

The young people who come to our sessions aren't primarily concerned with socialising or they wouldn't have fun playing music for 5 hours a week with a bunch of geezers.
