Folk Singer?To the editor:What's wrong with the present state of folk music in this country? It is the so-called “pop folk music” of the Kingston Trio, the Limelighters, etc. that has rejuvenated the so-called “ethnic” branch of folk music. Your “teenage hootenannies (ugh)”, you will find, still have your cherished ethnic elements of folk lore, if you would take time out to attend one. Pm sorry to say that even though Pm not a member of the *‘radical right” I don’t enjoy Bob Dylan. He should keep his '‘talent” channelled to writing since it is plainly obvious he doesn't have a voice and can’t play the guitar. I am also sorry that he spoiled your ethnic outlook by putting out such a “commercialism” as a phonograph record, but this “commercialism” was probably necessitated by another — money.Frank Zaino '66
