    Dooley: The Dillards, Thunder Road: Robert Mitchum, The Leaves Mustn’t Fall: Moon Mullican. Those are about my favorite folk songs.

    CAUTION: Do not play The Leaves mustan’t Fall around anyone suffering from depression or with suicidal tendencies. Make sure you have a ton of kleenex cause it is going to rain.
