I like the way some of the folk singers harmonize and play their guitars.
I think Peter, Paul and Mary are one of the nicest group of folk singers, and have included here the song “Leaving on a jet plane.” I read once that John Denver made an LP of his songs, and sent 250 copies to various people, and Peter, Paul and Mary, had a hit with this song. I first heard this song at a Four Jacks and a Jill show in the Bulawayo City Hall, back in the 60′s.
Folk Singer – Gordon Lightfoot
Gordon Lightfoot is a bit hit in Canada. This is one of my favorite love songs: “Did she mention my name.” I wish I could play guitar like him. His way of playing is so fantastic. The words in this song are so interesting. The Canadian girls smiles put the sun to shame. Good words.
There were a number of folk singers in South Africa, but Jeremy Taylor is one of the most famous. I have this song: “Lift girls lament” on one of my other pages, and have included it again here. I remember one of his songs, where he takes his horse to town, and the policeman puts a parking sticker on it’s bum. I can’t remember which song that was.
FOUR OF THE FOLK SINGERS I HAD LISTED HERE HAVE BEEN DELETED FROM THE NET. IT IS A CONSPIRACY.
