Thread Name: Are all folkies over fifty?
Subject: RE: Are all folkies over fifty?
I have been enjoying this thread. What I'm going to post doesn't answer the question directly, but I do think you'll find it interesting and germaine to the point. My friend Don Firth and I were very active singing in the coffee houses in Seatle in the late fifties. This year The Pacific Northwest Folk Life Festival contacted us about doing a concert. We have been doing some planning with them and we have been able to locate and round up about a dozen other performers from those years. As a result, we are all going to paraded on stage for a two and half hour concert and reunion sing thing. I'm sure there will be quite a collection of wheelchairs, walkers and canes! I did suggest the concert be titled "The Olde Fartz Concert," but I don't think that title will make the program! Oh well. CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
