From NEW YORK FOLKLORE (Vol. 7, Nos. 1-2):
"This romanticizing of rural living through old-time music suggests that what is actually being revived is not only a genre of folk music, but cultural elements of a bygone era that symbolize a better way of life."—R. Raymond Allen ("Old-Time Music and the Urban Folk Revival")
