I'm almost 69 and I very often play folk songs from the 60's .Singing this kind of song, with friends, in the shadow of a big tree, by a warm afternoon, that's for me a view of what paradise can be. The best from France, friendship for all.

I'm 62 and live in Mexico now, but these songs were the soundtrack of my early childhood. I had a decent run singing my own Ranchera compositions, mostly because these people showed me that anyone can sing any country's music.

I’m 86, how’s that possible? Grew up with these songs and artists. Met Joan Baez as my former next door neighbor on Fort Ord was her childhood friend. We all had coffee just before I boarded a plane to start my second Vietnam tour. She, an anti-war crusader just wished me well. She did not espouse her feelings. Just wished me God Speed.

My dad was a nightime bartender, and whenever I could I would stay awake until he came home, usually around 2 AM. He would say: " You shouldn't be up this late!!!!". If it wasn't a night before school, he would let me stay, and we'd sit at the kitchen table together. He liked to listen to the radio then, and sometimes read the newspaper, or we'd chat. We both enjoyed those times together, and he even remembered them when he was in his 80s and starting to lose his memory. RiP, Dad.

+TangleF50 There are a few excellent but under-appreciated singers and musicians around still. You have to dig deep and have a fair bit of luck to find them though. Not folk singers but try: *Eleftheria Arvanitaki* - O Ipnos Se Tilikse, Meno Ektos, Erotiko, Parapano H Xenitia, Tzivaeri. (the live versions) *Georgia Dagaki* - Erotokritos, Petroperdika, Sketos Ego. *Jackie Evancho*, practically anything she does really but if they haven't been pulled, live versions (although hardly distinguishable from her recordings) Nessun Dorma, Pie Jesu, Dorme Jesu, My Immortal, Only Time, Dark Waltz, Imaginer (the St. Petersburg concert or the PBS special in Orlando), A Time For Us, and her most recent offering All Of The Stars.

-I was fortunate to be a child of the 1950s-'60s, growing up in a very small rail town. I fell in love with Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary at about 12 then later came the folk-rock era with The Byrds, Arlo Guthrie, Simon and Garfunkel, and those that followed. In 1974, while living in Spokane WA, I was again fortunate to volunteer in the Folklife of Expo '74, meeting the likes of Utah Phillips, Rosalie Sorrells, Bodie Wagner, Kenny Hall, Pop Wagner, and so many others. I have since really listened to Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Cisco Huston and those who sang and played when our parents were young. All of these people and events shaped me into the person I am today, so much more aware and a bit cynical of the world. I have been so lucky. Now, pushing 70, I look back and sigh. What is next and what will the future generations be listening to? Will they appreciate what came before them or will our musical history be lost until someone unearths it again? Just like I did yesterday when I stumbled across a little known show, Rainbow Quest hosted by Pete Seeger in the mid-1960s. What a gem!

Love the folk music of my youth! We were so loving and carefree back then. We are no longer the "me" generation but we're the."we" generation. We care about life and our fellow man. We didn't have the homeless crisis back then like we do today. We were into bartering and hitch hiking to get around. I'm now living in Hawaii and it's like I stepped out of a time machine. The hippies here never left -- many boomers here who care about each other and still get around by hitch hiking. Most are vegetarians and Mary Jane is everywhere! Peace out.

Sure...some of these old songs still hold up and hold one's attention but a lot of today's music, from Rock to Bluegrass/Americana to hip hop is really good. I love to pump up the tempo or change the meter on the old folk songs and, while playing and singing, have people say, "Hey...I know that song" I'm a huge lover of much of that 80s/90s stuff...David Byrne, DEVO, etc. But then I love to dance at 68 years old I'd hate to be mired in any one era.

In a snowy night when i was just 5 years old i sat by the door waiting for my father come home from the company he worked for 41 years. It took couple of hours until my father showed up from working all day, six days a week. I saw his massive image behind the door as he put his key in the key hole and open the door. i was so excited to see him, as i was every night. As he open the metal door i could see outside was snowing massively, and since my father had to walk a long way from the bus stop to our little house, so he was covered in snow. His hat had turned into snowy white hat, as was his mustache and bushy eyebrows. I ran to him as he entered. He hugged and kissed me with his usual big smily face. Then he put me down and took off his hat and snowy overcoat, as shaking the snow off if them, and haning them on the green metal coat hanger by the door. He lock the door three times, and took his shoes off and put on his slippers and went to the bedroom to change. Later in the kitchen while he was eating his supper alone with me sitting next to him and while watching him how hungrily he ate his food i asked him why should he go to work? why can't he be home all the time? He chuckled a little behind his thick glasses and put me on his lap and told me something i never forget, "My son, we live among people and do what people do. All fathers have to go to work, and so do i. And since all kids go to school, next year you go to school too." That night I went to bed in the same bedroom as my other 3 brothers were sleeping, and I wished to myself people would stop expecting my father to go to work. But he worked all the way to the last month of his life when he died of a heart attack in sleep. To this day every time it snows hard at night, i still sit in the chair near the entrance door, and i still hope my father would show up covered with snow, the snow of happiness. (To all the working class fathers and families who live by the warmth of hope of a better future for their children.)

In 1967 I enlisted in the U.S. Navy and learned to play guitar in the Tonkin Gulf. I played some in the coffee houses in San Francisco, and at Montana State after I got out. With our current political situation, it is time to get the guitars out again. We need another movement to protect the progress we have made since "Hey Nellie, Nellie". And we're going to miss Pete and Leonard and Woody, and rest of them. This next battle for civil rights and freedom and the dignity of all people is going to be a much tougher battle. Re-string your guitars and banjos and take to the streets and parks and coffee houses. Dust off the old songs and write some new ones. Bless the United States and its' people.

I share in the sentiments already posted. I grew up in NYC in the 50s and 60s, learned guitar and sang in high school and ever since. A great thrill remains when, at age 30, I saw Tom Paxton play a small club in Atlanta and, at a break, asked him if I could play one of his songs for him (it was my birthday). In a kind gesture, he invited me to his dressing room and, together, we played Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound. He then returned to play his second set....

What's so amazing about this kind and gentle articulate music is that it was written and performed during a time of sometimes violent social upheaval in America

Yes, that's the important recognition. The artists intentionally felt love while writing about any subject, made sure both poetic skill and love were guiding their creations.

Dang! That Judy Collins can blow! Awesome. Loved it. This was before she was Suite: Judy Blue Eyes with Stills. Joan Baez was a hot one, but nobody looked like the adorable Joni Mitchell, nor sounded as good. Poor Garfunkel looked like he was eating a big bag of Cheetos and it exploded in his face. Oh well.

I remember singing that song when she first recorded it with bunches of ppl. "Be the change you'd like to see in the world." Yet, there is still lots of work to do. That said, I have an amazing positive feel about today's youth. They really are looking at the world through a different set of glasses. For that I'm grateful.

What made Folk Music so wonderful back in the 50’s & 60’s, other than the artists, were the SONGS. We just don’t have any songwriters today who can write songs as deep and meaningful as what we were experiencing in this marvelous era. Amen!

💙🦋💙Judy Collins’ song “Hey Nellie Nellie” ends in 1962 with people of color walking together with white people - for human rights. Today 8-25-20 people are again marching for human rights - declaring once again Black Lives Matter. A day ago another Black Man was shot in the back by police men who were hired “to serve the people”. Blowin in the Wind are Human Rights for ALL and A Change is A-Coming, With This Generation.💙🙏💙💙🌎💙🌏💙🌍💙ThankYou for This Memory of Our History💙🗽💙😷💙CompassionateCaring=😷🦋Black Lives Matter🦋💙🗽💙😷
