Introduction I don't know what popped this into my head. I was reading an old blog post about the 101ers and the band name coming from George Orwell's 1984 then I thought of Girlschool covering Gun's "Race With The Devil" and thought what road would they be on, then thought of the song "Route 66" and the road Route 66 which runs from Chicago to Los Angeles nearly two and a half thousand miles:

On August 15, 1969, I knew where I wanted to be because I had heard so much about it. Only one major problem I was 12 years old so this was one rock festival I would have to sit out. Do you have any idea what I’m referring to?

I enjoy music that spans across a range of decades. From the music of today to that of the 60’s. A little variety! As a kid, I was forced (I mean introduced!) to listen to music from the 60’s. I’m glad to have been introduced to music decades before I was born. Many of these songs remain timeless even today.

Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 2 months ago in BeatUnaccompanied Folk Ballads
Introduction This originally was going to be a selection from the 100 Ballads site shared by Rosie Whinray and commented on by Julie Henigan in The Ballad Tree: Traditional Folk Ballads and Songs, but the site itself contains recordings of the songs for you to listen to, along with documents and the words, so I saw no point in trying to put them into a piece of my own. Ihave pondered what to do for a few weeks and thought I would simply trawl the world wide web for unaccompanied folk ballads. I think this will create a random feel and hopefully give some people something to listen to that they haven't heard before,
