My First Folk Song

I grew up listening to the folkies of the 60's...and the first one my mother told me about was Pete Seegar...and the time she met him and the rest of the Weavers when they stopped in a diner near her home.

And this was the song my mother played for me first.

May your songs lack worry...

Another New Folkie for Friday

Eliza Gilkyson is another recent folk artist worth listening to. As a monument chaser this song speaks to me in an interesting way. I hadn't realized how many of the monuments I visit commemorate some battle or other. Thanks, Eliza, for the reminder that sometimes the most important fields are the ones "Where no Monument Stands."
