Dear fellow Folkies, hi!

A team of professionals built the Titanic. But a solo amateur built the Ark. And amateur songwriters wrote and performed the first folk songs!

Welcome on board my 'Folksy Ark' and discover the magic of folk music in its various genres and sub genres. Let's raise a toast in celebration of folk songs, folk artists, folk instruments, folk festivals, folk music history and everything folk!

Folkies need no introductions but for the record, I'm an HR/CorpCom pro by day and an Indie singer-songwriter by night, addicted to gadgets and guitars. I believe that music per se is written for the ears and that notation, tabs, etc., are but means to an end. I also believe that music is a means of experiencing as well as expressing freedom. And most of all, I believe that folk songs are a celebration of this freedom because you are free to 'do-your-own-thing, any-which-way'!
