	The Digital Folk Life
		So we were standing at the top of the hill at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 1976, looking down at the main stage, the crafts stage to our left, the tank stage to our right, and Jamie said, "Why don't we start a magazine?" I looked at her.
		So we let The Folk Life go to bed, held on to some reference copies, and stepped back from the folk festival circuit for a bit.
		Folk music on the radio was about our speed, for the time being.

	Newport Folk Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Newport Folk Festival is an annual folk-oriented music festival in Newport, Rhode Island founded in 1959 by Theodore Bikel, Oscar Brand, Peter Seeger and George Wein, founder of the already-well-established Newport Jazz Festival, and his partner, Albert Grossman.
		The Festival is reknown for introducing a number of performers who would go on to become superstars, most notably Joan Baez (who appeared as an unannounced guest of Bob Gibson in 1959, and Bob Dylan whose first Newport appearance in 1963 is generally regarded as his premiere national performance.
		The Newport Folk Festival fell on hard times in the later 1960s, even closing its doors for a number of years, beginning in 1971, but was revived in 1985, and has since become one of the major folk music festivals in the United States, alongside the Philadelphia Folk Festival, which began in 1960.

	Philadelphia Folk Festival - 40th Anniversary by Steven Stone
		These discs span the period from 1962 to 2000, but instead of putting the music in chronological order, the cuts are arranged so the CD's are musically cohesive rather than historically sequenced.
		Almost every major folk performer from the last 40 years is represented by at least one cut in this Box, with only Dylan (who never played on stage) absent.
		A majority of the cuts are from the late 90's as opposed to the 60's, 70's, or 80's, but recent improvements in live recording equipment make this bias understandable.

		Philadelphia Folk Festival, 1323 Salford Station Rd., Schwenksville.
		There's some power-pop, some country, some twee and lots of folk, but mostly Ricchini dodges the trappings of genre, etching out a nifty little world where perfumed women pass in the halls and-despite his best efforts-a guy just can't fall in love.
		Trumpeter and band leader John Swana can be found playing the Philadelphia environs most any night of the week-his big sound, burnished tone and scalding technique a bellwether to jazz musicians citywide.
