You’d like many of these people. They are good
friends, even to know them through a brief
glance along the way.
The time was the ebullient 60’s and 70’s; their
high spirit, their concern, their involvement was
apparent. During this swing period of American
culture these bluesmen influenced the music of
generations with their tales of yearnings. The
bluegrass, country and folkists celebrated other times.
What fascinating history lessons, taught on a grassy
field in Washington, the hills of Vermont, the clubs
of New Orleans or alongside the cool waters of the
St. Lawrence, where classicists of music and dance
revealed the gold of their thoughts.
Today a near-deluge of talent appears every summer
at hundreds of festivals in America. So if you don’t
recognize some of the names or faces shown here,
trust that they are friends whose music, tale tales and
humor you would surely treasure and enjoy.
