Thread Name: 1960's Australian Folk Albums
Subject: RE: 1960's Australian Folk Albums
Great to read these mentions & reminiscences of the 'early' Melbourne folk scene, especially of TRAYNORS (which ended up being the longest running 7-nights-a-week folk club in the world, BTW). My first album was recorded there ("People Get Ready", '73) and that, strangely, turns out to be the only album ever recorded at the venue. And my next (MOVING TARGET..>>>>harder to hit", released next month) contains a photo of me performing with Frank Traynor's Jazz Preachers (which used to take over from the folk sngers after midnight on Saturdays) and a dedication to Frank..... "the first to link my folk singing with jazz and blues, and to explain the mathematical magic of music to me". More background, etc, on my website - http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~margretr I can be emailed from there if folk from 'those days' want to make contact. Cheers & thanks Margret RoadKnight (now living in Brisbane)
