So, bear with me as I do this in bits and pieces. This piece is just the current set list for "Tales & Tunes." Basically, I've structured the first 3 or 4 songs to lay the foundation(somewhat chronologically) for the rise of popular folk music toward the end of the 1950's. We cover a few songs from Leadbelly, Woody and the Weavers. Then on to the great "folk scare" of the '60's. So here's the list:
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
IRENE GOODNIGHT
HAMMER SONG
TOM DOOLEY

SCOTCH & SODA

WHERE HAVE...FLOWERS
