That song has always made me sad. These days it's because people much younger than us will never know how many ways the Folk movement meant things to a lot of us heading into the late 60s. They'll hear the distance echoes but never quite know the passion.

I know--the "idea" of the sixties is so different from the reality.

Exactly that.
It was a time, wasn't it?

I learned to play my first guitar chords with some of their songs... I'm sad she's gone.

I tried it, too. Glad you succeeded.

Thanks, I needed that.

I'm glad you liked it.

I grew up with them. Odd coincidence--the day before this news, the folk music parody film A Mighty Wind was shown on TV. I've always thought that it's so affectionate that it doesn't quite make it as satire--more of a tribute.

I know--I really liked that movie.
