Some History on Folk Music
http://www.folkmusichistory.com
Former folk festival programmer Gary Cristall decided to write a book about Folk Music in English Canada. This site is one method Cristall is using for research. The outline and introduction of the book are linked to the main page, and he asks for reader feedback on what he has so far, as well as any information of folk music. Cristall is asking for the opinions of folk performers and listeners before 1970, as well as any folk memorabilia such as songbooks and old festival programs. If you think there is some information Gary Cristall should include in this book, log on to his site and let him know.
Preserving the 1970s
http://www.70ps.com
Welcome to the ‘70’s Preservation Society! Put together by Jim Thomas, a radio personality through the ‘70’s, this site is dedicated to keeping the decade alive through ‘70’s music, TV shows, movies, posters, and more. You can easily take a trip down memory lane when you search the top forty music database for your favorite ‘70’s song. A must-see for those who still secretly own their Jackson 5 poster. And they have a live stream button too.
