Accidentally, Brian and I ended up at the blender theatre to see Loudon Wainwright III perform. He sang traditional folk music (which is my favorite type of music) with the help of a mandolin player and his son, Rufus Wainwright. He was comedic with his drinking songs which were inevitably about not drinking because of the harm it causes in relationships. I spent most of the night either laughing or shedding tears when he plucked and played the banjo.
Folk music is great because its pure - its not censored like most music these days. Folk songs are story telling songs dating back since humans were in existence. Its sad to see the music of this era. All you really need is a laptop and software to make music. The only difference is its not true- its not from the heart like folk music is. Playing instruments should be key in a band.
