I've dabled in a little folk music, but not that much.  Bob Dylan is great, though he sounds way to conjested now.  And I much prefer Crosby Stills Nash and Young to regular old Neil Young.  He's a great guitarist, but I was never a fan of his singing or his lyrics.   And come on, who couldn't like Simon and Garfunkel?  Grin

I used to go to folk clubs around here in the 60s when it was popular. Unfortunately this was too late to see Paul Simon & various other now-famous names in their formative years. I've always regretted missing that opportunity.

I must be one of the very few people who never liked Bob Dylan, even when he was at the height of his popularity. He could never sing to my mind & I still find him painful to listen to. I don't mind his songs but think these were much better when performed by other artists like the Byrds. The only one of his I really liked was "Lay Lady Lay".

Funny you should say that Paul. Some of my friends call me Dougal. Never been too sure how to take that. Roll Eyes

Still, I've been called much worse in my time. Grin

A Belgian Folk band lives here in the neighbourhood. These three females call themselves Laïs and I must say they are pretty good. They even play at big Belgian festivals such as Rock Werchter.  Wink
