"Album 1700"...record number: Warner Brothers WB1700.Now that's creative as hell!
I never hear anyone talkin' about Folk music here...'ceptin' maybe Bob Dylan. I have been coming across all of the LPs I bought back in my folkie days and the times I spent at some great gatherings at Harper's Ferry (they still have great Bluegrass Concerts there).
Seeing John Hartford getting his guitar re-strung by one of the most beautiful women I've EVER seen...as he sang, "I'm gonna give you the Golden Globe award for those golden globes of yours..." I saw him at Frederick, MD where they had some great Bluegrass concerts too!
If you were incredibly wealthy, you could buy some of the finest crafts I've ever seen at those Frederick craft fairs...and of course, lots of schlock, too!
Back when I was young and dumb and full of...vim and vigor.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
Follow Ups:
frederick's had craft fairs! their catalogs were alway good until the air brush police came along.

Some of my favorite artists are Richard Thompson, Nick Drake, & Bruce Cockburn. I also like a lot of the Arlo Guthrie & Leo Kottke. John Hartford was pretty cool.Cheers,
Bobbo :-)
Mikee,You know me and guitar pickers....I guess these guys we're always my folk artists.........I stole from them on a regular basis and damn proud of it!

Ever listen to Doyle Dykes? As a devoted Christian he doesn't play the usual gigs, so he's not very famous. If Kottke is the, "Where's the other guitar-player?" player, you'll be looking around for 2 other players when you listen to Dykes.Scott A.
I always placed him in Rock, although I knew he was far more than the average Rock "picker", but this is the very first Kottke song I ever heard and I was a fan for life:
Climbing out of open windows,
Crashing down from broken stairs,
Keeping watch on smoking cinders,
Falling over burning chairs.
Tossed and crossed, and screwed in transit.
Broken, splintered, bruised and thrown.
Badly shattered, gale forced frighty,
Rushed across and shown alone.
Speech reduced by poor relations
strung from weeks of self-abused,
chopped up, churned out, weeks of greazy
Spark plugs burnt up power's fused

I love Kottke, too..Chewing Pine is espicially wonderful, but his work is superb.
I could never get over his monotone to listen to what he said. I my opinion, he is a hell of a picker, who sings like me.

...which drew its titular inspiration from the same well (so to speak).Folk. Well, nowadays, and around here (New England) at least, Patty Larkin is considered folk. Whatever. The upside of this is that I can usually see and hear her play, ca. once a year, at some small venue within 15 min. of my house... and that's fine with me!
I think in the modern lexicon Bruce Cockburn's folk. Maybe, too, are the Wailin' Jennys. It's all good, it's all good.
all the best,

a few weeks ago at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., doing the first "rock" performance ever in that venue. He was solo, and in great form, and I have to call it a "folk" performance. Outstanding, nonetheless.
