	Old Town School of Folk Music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Old Town School of Folk Music is a Chicago teaching and performing institution that launched the careers of many notable folk music artists.
		The formation and growth of the School coincided with the folk music boom of the 1960s and early 1970s.
		As the folk revival declined in the mid-1970s so did the fortunes of the School; although it continued to provide music lessons to hundreds of students the School suffered financial difficulties and filed for bankruptcy in 1981.

		In one fell swoop of graceful humor, David Roche–executive director of the Old Town School of Folk Music since December of last year–erases a collective misperception of the folk tradition.
		He adds, "We view folk music as a process working in all forms of expressive culture." And, most importantly, this 44-year-old Chicago institution dedicated to communal education is not built on a competitive model.
		The School’s Armitage facility was converted into the Old Town School Children’s Center, offering an array of children’s music, dance and theatre classes, field trips and music residencies for public schools, and a series of family performances.

		On September 17, Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of the Chicago Folk Center with a solo performance by Roger McGuinn.
		After all, McGuinn not only was born in the city, but also had first learned about folk music and guitar technique at the school.
		Perhaps it was this circularity that prompted McGuinn to fill his set with a number of old folk songs, though he's long been a proponent of preserving these classic selections.

		David Lindley is one of the great hidden treasures of the American music scene.
		The basic building block, of course, was old-time folk and blues, which surfaced most noticeably on the opening jaunt King of the Bed and the concluding medley of New Minglewood Blues and.45 Blues.
		Waltzing between Hawaiian, folk, pop, and Native American styles, the group often sounded like an eccentric combination of Rusted Root and XTC.
