[HANASHIR:14611] Re: 60s Folk Music (and 50's too)

[Andrew Morgan <amm...>]

I have never participated in discussions on the website, but felt obligated 
to comment on the discussion about folk music.  Every year at Nava Nashira, 
I've jammed with a group of people (usually a different group each year) 
with songs from the 50', 60's, and 70's.  There is so much joy in singing 
such great songs and sharing experiences with others.  From a personal 
perspective, I believe that it is our obligation to pass these songs to the 
next generation, so these traditions never die.  After all, isn't that what 
folk music is all about. In this vein, I'd like to suggest that we include 
a session on 60's folk music at the next Hava Nashira as one of the 
organized "special interest" activities, since opportunities to share these 
songs with the kind of talent assembled are rare on "the outside."
