>>Forty minute download on dial-up, but well worth it for the classics<< Gawd, you are missing some great YouTube stuff. I was never a Monty Python fan, but was vaguely aware of the Lumberjack Song. When I looked up that skit I found several versions, and posted you the best one. The changing expressions on the face of his "best girl" are just priceless! Here's a sparkling pop music clip from the 60s... The Crystals - Da Doo Ron Ron youtube.com I also found wonderful old clips from Pete Seeger's TV show "Rainbow Quest", with artists such as Richard and Mimi Fariña, Tom Paxton, Mississippi John Hurt, Johnny Cash, etc. And stuff from the Newport Folk Festival, with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, etc.
