An article on folk music for the October 2010 issue of Campus BluePrint.
It’s people singin’ and dancin’ and playin’ together in the spirit of a common tradition. It’s an animated, acoustic homage to the lives and rituals of our predecessors.
That might sound a bit too schmaltzy or fuddy-duddy for your taste, but having dedicated the last year or so of my life to both learning how to pick and shuffle at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago and to Irish fiddling in pubs across the Emerald Isle, I feel compelled to make a case for the stuff.
