60's Folk music...

Anyone interested in folk music from the '60's? Certainly not much interest in it around this part of the country. Just curious...

 

You have to go to the Old Beatnik forum for that

 

Hey, oink

Hell, man...the beatniks were before even MY time. Interesting though, that the hippy movement banner was protest against the status quo and that nearly all the music of that genre came from '60's folk singers.

 

Yes Sir, there's at least one other around here that still loves folk music(that'd be me). Sorry to hear about the lack of it in your part of the world. There's still enough of a following around here that over the past two weeks the Alabama Public TV was having a fund raiser and were showing documentries about Pete Seeger http://www.aptv.org/Schedule/showinfo.asp?ID=169788&NOLA1=AMMSPS and Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival('64, '64, & '65) http://www.aptv.org/Schedule/showinfo.asp?NOLA1=BDYN&ID=169874.

BTW, they were also showing some Doo Wop reunion shows and they are even putting on 3 live concerts this year.

And also, I remember Beatniks and in the very early 1960s being called a (young) Beatnik. Yeah, I remember a time before Hippies. A lot of us Original Hippies were new generation of Beatniks & Folkies. And I guess we still are.

Does it count if I can find my brothers old Hootenanny albums, and if I can remember watching Dobie Gillis?

 

Hey, oink...close enough!

 

i listen to nothing but 60s and early 70s music........thank god for satellite radio...in the winter the places that i work in are so remote that i can't even pick up a radio signal ...hence the satellite radio

 

one of my neighbors in eastern montana still does

he was not a hippie per se but he was a 50s folkie

this does not make him popular although i like him

 

Folk was the music I was exposed to in the late 50s & early 60s and I still enjoy it to this day. But I have a wide variety in tastes so one day it might be Iron Butterfly and the nexy something classical

 

Hi Guys. Loved a lot of the folk stuff from early sixties onwards. Just saw Arlo Guthrie in concert solo. Fantastic performer. If you get a chance to see him round your neck of the woods I'd highly recommend it!!! Used to listen to Arlo's dad Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Peter Paul & Mary, Donovan and of course, Dylan. Not quite "mature" enough to remember the beatniks, though have read lots about them.

 

Do you remember watching Crusader Rabbit?




Have fun and play safely!

 

No, I don't think so. I watched a utube version and it seemed vaguely familiar, but no solid memory of it.

 

Yep... with Boris and Natasha and of course Bullwinkel and.... hmmm...... wrong series that's "Rocky and Bullwinkle". But I remember Crusader Rabbit. Just can't think of any episodes at the moment.

 

Crusader Rabbit was '50-'51 IIRC.

 

He was still on TV in the early 60s.................... are we still on topic?

​

 

Cool Crusader Rabbit pic. Thanks for the memories!
Apologies to the OP.
I remember Bob Dylan in the early sixties.

That was wonderful music. A couple of acoustic guitars, a stand-up bass ... maybe a banjo. Great stuff

 

Ah yes, I still like listening to the Folk Music from back then, and, I still enjoy the rare showing of a Crusader Rabbitt cartoon. Mr. Moose Rules..............
