1. There's sooooooo much folk music it's insane

I've never really delved deeper than the better known artists, but my Dad has recently got very intro British folk and he's spending a small fortune. Have you come across "The Incredible String Band" yet? If not, I highly recommend them, particularly their album 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion.

2. The Incredible String Band? Damn, I must be old.

I remember when they were new.
