I had the wonderful to present a “talk” on “Folk Music in the 21st Century” for a group of active seniors out at Northampton Community College on Wednesday. I enjoy wrestling with this subject anyway, but its more fun to play music along with it, too. It was a very good situation in that the first presenter was a chef who fed us all, and then we we all sang together. These seniors were a delight to play for (and with), and I remarked that these folk knew the importance of live music, something that is somewhat endangered now-a-days. A long trip for no pay, but well worth the effort.
