Nonesuch Folk

This is an interesting story. At one time long ago, I had a family member ask me to find an old Pete Seeger album. At the time I did not have it (and hadn't even heard it) but they insisted it was a great album and they hadn't heard it in years and they couldn't find it. I offered to look for it as I was shopping around the world for records. I would occasionally look for it as I looked for new albums. It didn't take long, and I found it. Next Thanksgiving was a joyous time as we all listened to the LP. It was a decent album, not all it was made out to be. They ended up wanting it on cassette. So I recorded it for them. The tape had enough room left over to make what I picked to match or sort of match on the other side. This is mostly what I had. I added some newer tracks when I made this compilation. Since I didn't want to put a whole album on here, none of Pete Seeger is on here. Some folkish, some acoustic, some just fun stuff.

Acoustic Zep (Led Zeppelin's acoustic tracks)

Like the earlier Pretty Sabbath pick and the ELP Barrelhouse Ragtime pick this playlist takes a side of a band and highlights it. In this case it is the pretty, acoustic sounds of Led Zeppelin. Page, a master at guitar, is amazing acoustically. These tracks on this pick prove it. From almost every year and album there was a track you could play for your parents (to show it wasn't all noise). Things are not so different today. The music changes, but the dynamic between kids and parents and their choices of music doesn't change much. Our job as parents is to expose kids to a variety of music, so it isn't lost, but also to keep an open mind about the "noise" they listen to. You might not like the parental advice, but the playlist is great. So don't mind me and just listen.
