I was thinking about folk music. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Chad Bradshaw, leader of Bradshaw Blues, the trio I play with, bills his music as "blues, ballads, and rockabilly.'

Nah.

Folk music.

As I was recollecting, folk music was probably my first introduction to popular music. My dad's one folk album, Burl Ives, figured pretty prominently in my very earliest (toddler-age) musical memories. Shoo-fly, shoo.

Amidst all the classical and big-band jazz that was standard fare on the radio in the house (with the occasional Broadway standard thrown in), that (and Roy and Dale singing 'Happy Trails' at the end of the Roy Rogers show), is the primordial ooze from which my sense of music sprang.

Later, drummer Richie Becker turned me on to Motown, and then, right after, came the Beatles, and I put steel strings on my classical guitar. But first, folk music.
