Where did all the minstrels go?

Singing storytellers ruled the 70s.

Jim Croce

Gordon Lightfoot

Don McClean

Harry Chapin

Dan Fogleberg

Some of these guys could be a little corny, cialis generic prescription but they all performed in a style that you hardly ever see anymore.

The only current performer I would even think to include in this group is Lyle Lovett and he’s not exactly contemporary.

So what happened?

Where are our documentary song singers?

You might say there are plenty in Country music, buy viagra cheap but there’s always been Country music.

Whatever happened to the poet with a guitar who told stories in songs instead of in stanzas?
