Thank the Folk gods for Folkways

Does anyone else want to stand up and clap heartily for Folkways the nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian Institution? I do, and I rarely stand up to clap.

The following mission statement is copied directly from the folkways mission and history page.
'Our mission is the legacy of Moses Asch, who founded Folkways Records in 1948 to document "people's music," spoken word, instruction, and sounds from around the world. The Smithsonian acquired Folkways from the Asch estate in 1987, and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings has continued the Folkways commitment to cultural diversity, education, increased understanding, and lively engagement with the world of sound.'
It is my belief that this organization has delivered, and will continue to deliver on this mission.

I have the albums listed below. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in folk music!

And here are some nice links for grins

Enjoy your day! At once!
