just becoming aware of good music. I listen to their version of Blowin In The Wind on youtube all the time. The folk music movement of the '60s was an exciting time. But then all music was exciting to me in the '60s and I spent a lot of time riding my bike back and forth to the record store.

It is hard I think for people today to understand just how much impact songs like this were on that generation...
Music then was the only entertainment that was not so rigidly controlled and new ideas could be expressed.
