Description
In 1958 with a release of “Tom Dooley”, the Kingston Trio re-awakened
America to its own rich folk music heritage. The first session will start
with the roots of this movement: Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.
Other artists covered will include Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins,
Carolyn Hester, Ian & Sylvia, Phil Ochs, Joe & Eddie, the Chad Mitchell
Trio, Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton and of course Peter, Paul and Mary. The
second session moves to folk-rock. You may remember the Byrds’ “Mr.
Tambourine Man” and then Bob Dylan finally going electric at the 1965
Newport Folk Festival. We will also hear the Mamas and Papas, Lovin’
Spoonful and Simon and Garfunkel. Lots of music!
Presenter: Alan Kruse, popular Southwest tour leader and previous ILR
presenter (Rock ‘n Roll).
Two Monday mornings: November 18 th and 25 th at 9:00 a.m. in the
Activity Center’s Hopi Room.
