			<description><![CDATA[<p>Here is a folk song of sorts&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />Lyrics were written by Hank Williams when he near his end and unable to play or sing anymore.&nbsp; When he died, his family found a bunch of songs as such - no music - just lyrics.&nbsp; They contacted Billy Bragg to write the music and he did so and put out an album called Mermaid Avenue</p><p>My two faves from the album&nbsp; &nbsp;<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWQ4IPPXz2k">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWQ4IPPXz2k</a></p><p>California stars I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight<br />On a bed of California stars<br />I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight<br />On a bed of California stars<br />I’d love to feel your hand touching mine<br />And tell me why I must keep working on<br />Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight<br />On a bed of California stars</p><p>I’d like to dream my troubles all away<br />On a bed of California stars<br />Jump up from my starbed and make another day<br />Underneath my California stars<br />They hang like grapes on vines that shine<br />And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine<br />So, I’d give this world just to dream a dream with you<br />On our bed of California stars</p><p>Way over yonder in the Minor Key<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHVo-UKogBs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHVo-UKogBs</a></p><p>Lyrics<br />I lived in a place called Okfuskee<br />And I had a little girl in a holler tree<br />I said, &quot;Little girl, it&#039;s plain to see<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me&quot;<br />She said, &quot;It&#039;s hard for me to see<br />How one little boy got so ugly&quot;<br />Yes, my little girly, that might be<br />But there ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />There ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />We walked down by the Buckeye Creek<br />To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee<br />To hear that west wind whistle to the east<br />There ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Oh, my little girly, will you let me see?<br />Way over yonder where the wind blows free<br />Nobody can see in our holler tree<br />And there ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />There ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree<br />And laid it on to she and me<br />It stung lots worse than a hive of bees<br />But there ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Now I&#039;ve walked a long, long ways<br />I still look back to my Tanglewood days<br />I&#039;ve led lots of girls since then to stray<br />Saying ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />Way over yonder in the minor key<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me<br />Ain&#039;t nobody that could sing like me</p><p>enjoy</p><br /><p>Jim</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Grah1, good performance, I didn&#039;t know that song though I must admit.&nbsp; Maybe because I am not a punk rock fan, thought this one says its folk, punk.&nbsp; &nbsp;I checked it out online after listening to your cover.&nbsp; One another note, as I am not really a guitarist, what is the white thing in the middle of your guitar over the hole part of the guitar?&nbsp; I noticed that Justin Townes Earle (who TIGLJK) introduced to me this month in Blues, has one on his guitar too.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve always been curious about what defines a &quot;folk&quot; song as opposed to a &quot;pop song on acoustic guitar&quot; - and it appears that it&#039;s generally an old </p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>The term, Folk Song, originally meant songs that were so old that no one remembered who wrote them. It was pretty clear cut.</p></blockquote></div><p><a href="https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-differentiate-the-folk-songs-from-modern-songs">source</a>&nbsp; </p><p>However time has transmorgified the meaning, and it&#039;s now generally refers to an <em>artist on an acoustic guitar</em>, although when I went to the Wikipedia page on it, there was a whole different definition, including differing countries traditional and folk songs:</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_music">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_music</a></p><p>So, after that research ...

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In my 20s a friend invited me to watch a touring folk group at our local YMCA. As he was a super guitarist he was their supporting act which is why I went. The stand out song he played was Bob Dylans tambourine man. The folk group came on later and their stand out was the song about a thresher which was quite dirty probably why I liked it! Also about 10 years ago I played an evening gig at a pub in Pembroke the afternoon act was a folk group, which I enjoyed but would never pull me back from the dark side of rock music.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I was trying to think of some of my favorite folk artists and songs.&nbsp; &nbsp;Honestly, the list is way too big.&nbsp; So, to name just a few of them (and believe me there are lots I like), I thought of Cat Stephens, Gordon Lightfoot, Simon &amp; Garfunkel, Neil Young (not all like his music I know), there are some awesome Irish Folk Songs too by different artists.&nbsp; The Corrs are an Irish group, who do Folk-pop stuff that I like as well.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>]]></description>
