Not to worry. That pic i posted was originally from Janis Ian. She has a keen sense of humor. I know all about Folk. I live in Kerrville, home of the Kerrville Folk Festival and attend many of the concerts. Some great players around the campfires after the concerts.

Kerrville is wonderful.

I've attended several Kerrville Folk Festivals and enjoyed everyone of them (Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, in the old, old days). I have a few KFF CDs, including an old Women of Kerrville which includes Tish Hinojosa (her later duets with Chip Wheeler are wonderful), Lynn Miles (I Always Told You The Truth), and Cheryl Wheeler (youth everywhere love Ms. Wheeler's song "Potato" and her walk in the woods with her dog, John).

Kerrville State Park is a delightful place to camp. During the right season, when you open your tent flap in the morning it's not unusual to find deer grazing all around you, within a few feet of your tent.

Ah. Still available on Amazon for $7.25. Worth the price if you enjoy contemporary female folk.

Seventy-five Septembers is Cheryl Wheeler's very nice tribute song to her grandmother (I know about Wheeler's sexual orientation).

Dar Williams is the Dar Williams who will later become famous, and still be barefoot and then go all Mary Chapin Carpeter "Somebody Feed Me" large on us - which offended people for some reason, but anyway the song's about how Christians and pagans aren't all that different. Riiiiiight. The solstice, so Amber called her uncle. Gee. When Christians sit with pagans only pumpkin pies are burning.

Catie Curtis and Susan Werner - my kids grew up loving Werner's "Last of the Good, Straight Girls" from the CD of the same name ("gone the days of the corduroy jumpers and your birthday string of pearls"), but Werner's agnostic gospel CD is . . . interesting.

Tish Honojosa is, on the CD and still is, an absolute angel - and in some twisted way, through a sampler CD playing in a Cambridge funky shop while my youngest was looking at jewelry, she led me to Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez, for which I'll always be grateful. And, Chip Taylor is John Voight's brother. Who knew?
