Positively 4th Street

I'm about halfway through Positively 4th Street and will read a few more pages at lunch today, but won't be able to finish it before tonight's meeting. It's a fun book for me because I grew up listening to not only the four singer-songwriters who are the focus of the book - but just about everyone the author mentions! My parents introduced me to The Weavers and Pete Seeger and Burl Ives (Big Rock Candy Mountain), but I "discovered" Joan Baez from a girlfriend in Junior High. From there it wasn't hard to find and listen to Bob Dylan, Mimi & Richard Farina, Eric Von Schmidt, Dave Van Ronk and many of the other folksingers of the
60s. Reading about them now is like time travel - taking me back to my teenage years, but with the perspective of experience and a new appreciation of these artists as people - talented, flawed and some of them still making music!
