29 Jul 01 - 08:10 AM (#517080) Subject: It's a Miracle!! From: Morticia My daughter, now almost 20 and for all her life a stern and all-encompassing critic of folk music has experienced a conversion!!!!! I would like to pretend it's through the benign and gentle influence of her esteemed parent ( me, I mean) but actually it was getting to know a member of the band "Boys from County Hell", as talented a bunch as I've ever heard play and reminiscent of the wild and whacky Pogues but with a better lead vocal. Still, however it came about, she has now eschewed her love of black, dog-collars and heavy, thrash, garage, mayhem rock ( or whatever it's called) and has taken up guitar and Childe.....it's a happy day! |

From: DonMeixner Morticia, I too experienced the same thrill when my son Gregory said "Uh, OK." to free tickets to The Battlefield Band in Ithaca NY and came back and wouldn't shut up about the experience for days. He still listens to the Industrial Rock but he also listens to Battlefield Band as well. He wants to play Mary Ellen Carte with me at an open mic and I distinctly heard him attempting my whistles. The hext generation carries it on, hope springs eternal. Don |

In which case she is of course more than welcome here to tell us all "What is Folk." |

29 Jul 01 - 11:17 AM (#517139) Subject: RE: BS: It's a Miracle!! From: Liz the Squeak My little bratling is under no such illusions. She wanted to sing an SClub& song at the Jug, and sticks her hands over her ears when Manitas plays. However, she will stand and watch him play for dancing, but I think she has a crush on 2 of the other dancers.... Morty, I feel deeply for you. It was worth all those therapy sessions for her....

And that should have been SClub7 for those who can't work out keyboards. If you don't know who SClub7 are, I can't help you.... find a teenager/pre-teen and ask them. LTS |

My two boys (19 and 17) have been exposed to folk music (mostly me singing) since they were little but don't show much interest. However, I have caught my older son playing some of my Irish CD's in his car and the younger one is experimenting with DADGAD guitar tuning. Your story gives me hope! |

From: Liz the Squeak Although we may be having a breakthrough with the bratling - in the car yesterday,she prefered to listen to one of my tapes of Gill Burns, Nic Jones, Arlo Guthrie and Graham & Eileen Pratt over that bloody Disney nursery rhyme tape.... (jut as well, that tape went out the window somewhere down the M40 one day......) LTS |
