Sue Allan You're not a Folksinger unless...... (73* d) RE: You're not a Folksinger unless...... 30 Nov 11


You're not a folksinger unless ...

... you've been inspired to sing by other great folksingers. The mention of Joan Baez and the Joan Baez Songbook above reminded me how much I owe to her, and the book, which introduced me to Child ballads and traditional songs as well as protest songs and newer styles of folk.

Think I'd also add:
... you've had the chance to explore your own regional repertoire, songs new or old that relate to or come from your own part of the country. I love the sense of place some folk songs evoke, offering a way to celebrate your home and/or special place.
