Songs That Chronicle My Life
I have a pretty good memory, I'm told. I can remember things as early as age 3, while some people I know barely remember high school. One of my wife's friends has no memories at all before age 8. Key to my memories is music, which seems to have always been part of my life.

Are These Folk Songs?
Introduction While researching songs for articles that I share in UK & Irish Folk Music 60s-80s I started thinking of songs by non-folk artists that could be considered folk songs.
