"I don't think they are old songs. They're here, they're now songs; they're songs that people sing".- Frank Fairfield. Obviously the old recordings are valid, but this music is far from dead. It's alive and well, right here, right now.

its amazing what you stumble upon on the internet. God bless this guy for playing the old music, and letting me live in a time where I can find it.

KEXP: Is it fair to say you you just weren't made for these times?

Frank: Is it? Oh, I don't know. I think everything is just as it should be, y'know?

I love this man's fiddle playing!

[twister]

I like this 😊 very nice and pleasant. Americana, while getting more and more overlooked, it still amazing to listen to.

[whoarethebrainpigs]

[TonyTones]

I love American folk because so can so easily hear their Scot-Irish roots

I'm going to play with the band, right after him tomorrow night. Hard job!

[darrensam]

Beautiful, would love to see him and Pokey LaFarge play together!

You're so right. People should stop playing music altogether. Thank goodness we still have the old recordings!

Music = DONE

You don't seem to understand the evolution of music very much.
