Music That Makes Me Thankful That I Met Conservatives
I joined Ricochet for a simple reason; they were putting out a product worth supporting. Rob Long’s pitches about the content behind the paywall left me unconvinced – sorry, Rob. I can’t recall how long it was before I begin lurking around the right Feed, but I know where I first started participating: Ricochet’s “What Are Listening To” group. My little experience with conservatives growing up left me with the impression that these people don’t care much about art – or art people are interested in, anyway. I still don’t think I’m wrong about the right as a whole, but I guess Ricochet isn’t all that normal.
Here is some of the great pop music that I’d likely have never encountered had I not joined this site. (I’m intentionally excluding the excellent tunes I’ve heard since Clifford Brown decided to gift us with this Group Writing theme.)
I decided against embarrassing the ones who showed me these gems. You know who you are. How about the rest of Ricochet? Has anything been added to the soundtrack of your life from the members you’ve met? Anything you think the rest of us might not have heard?
I’m listening…

Have to thank @arahant for this. I have always been extremely fond of Steeleye Span, but I was not aware of this particular song, or the video, until he linked to it in a comment.
Seeing this prompted me to go to YouTube and find out what else might be available. Found a bunch of video from concerts all down the years, when the personnel changed, but their sound never has.
Awesome! Another group I’d never heard of but will be investigated more fully.
Steeleye Span has been around since the 1970s. They take mostly old English folk songs and do them with rock instrumentation. Maddy Pryor, their lead singer, is awesome.
my favorite Steeleye span:
I’ve been a fan of the ‘Span since the early 70’s. Here’s one of my faves:
