Talk:Old Town School of Folk Music

Founders

 * Founded by folk musicians Frank Hamilton and Win Stracke...

No one associated with the Old Town School of Folk Music would forget to mention Dawn Greening as one of the founders. Hard to describe her since she wasn't a folk musician, but she was the one that got the ball rolling, so to speak. Read the school's web page about her to understand.

Prominence

 * The late 1960s were a peak of success as several musicians associated with the School rose to national prominence, including Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, John Prine, Steve Goodman, Bonnie Koloc, and Bob Gibson.

Bob Gibson was already nationally known by the late 60's, and can be credited with more then simply being associated with the Old Town School of Folk Music. People either knew of him or knew some of the songs he wrote/co-wrote that were covered by the likes of The Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Simon & Garfunkel. I suggest rewording this line something along the lines of, "The late 1960s were a peak of success in no small part for being associated with nationally prominent musicians such as Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, John Prine, Steve Goodman, Bonnie Koloc, and Bob Gibson."
