Actually I am not that knolwedgable regarding Folk Music. I know of stuff from the sixties; Ian and Sylvia/Theodore Bikel, people like that. Then I am slightly familiar with Blues in terms of regional differences like West Texas and Piedmont Style. Of course The Clancy Brothers and Chieftains. I used to listen to the , Thistle and Shamrock hour. But I like the real folk tunes from all countries. Carribean Calypso and Celtic Fife And Drum. Sea Chanteys like those Jerry Garcia favors. The basic and simple stuff. Like the music you hear on the Smithsonian Collection. Old mining tunes. I used to study African Tribal music in order to steal some drum techniques when I was younger.
