Title: Roger McGuinn's Folk Den
Post by: 64Guitars on November 21, 2010, 12:09:46 PM
I found a great website that some of you might enjoy:
Roger McGuinn's Folk Den http://www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/folkden-wp/ (http://www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/folkden-wp/)
It has many folk songs with lyrics and chords for each song plus an MP3 by Roger McGuinn which you can play and/or download. All of the songs are licensed under a Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/) license, so you can legally download them and share them.
I think this site is a wonderful resource for learning folk songs. If we ever have a FolkFest, it will be especially useful and inspiring. The song categories include Blues, Cowboy, Mountain/Southern, Seafaring (wish I'd known about this site during PirateFest), and Seasonal (great for YuleFest).
Here are a few songs from Roger McGuinn's Folk Den:

I found this site a while ago, however when, my old laptop failed I lost all the links and ended up forgetting about it. So thank's for bringing this back to me. It's packed full of goodies and a terrific learning resource. More time I shan't get back.
