I've just been converting to CD my mix tapes of WIOQ folk shows from 1981, 1982, and 1983. I was searching for set lists from the Shows and found your message. You were a lot more tenacious then I. I only have a couple of tapes. But I had a similar experience of listening and then seeking out the influences and continuing to follow the thread to whatever artist, genre, or song it took me to. I learned to love Blind Willie McTell, Steeleye Span, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, etc. etc. The Internet has broken open what is available and I've made full use obtaining whatever I can. Also, I live in Ventnor. If you'd like to talk or exchange music, drop me a note or give me a call. I'm in the book. This is a little freaky.
