Great to see you're back in action! A wonderful blog as ever. Thank you for the music.
AntwortenLöschenI discovered the music of Ewan MacColl late, about twenty seven years ago and through the songs he wrote that were sung by Dick Gaughan. I have been listening to MacColl since and buying his recordings when I can find them. You perform an extraordinary service and give us a great gift by helping to keep alive his music, the music of Barbara Dane, and so many other voices that are not sufficiently commercial or current to remain known by a large audience. For example, I had heard of Lou Killen, knew he was an important influence among many of the folk musicians whom I enjoyed; however, although I lived in Massachusetts, where he now resides, for the first three and a half decades of my life, I never heard his music before you posted it.
AntwortenLöschenI value, too, that, as a father of three young adult women, I am able thanks to your blog to share so much of the the music that was so important to me and shaped my world view when I was their age. Your posst invariably lead me to Amazon.com to buy more music, such as that of Tom Liwa. Again, thanks so much, I am grateful that this blog remains alive as source of music, discovery, pleasure, and inspiration.
Thanks a lot for you comments to you both! Glad that this kind of sharing is possible!
