The Young Man & The Folk Star
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea
Waltz
One of the greatest contributions to folk music in the 20th Century
(and, perhaps, to the world of music in general) was a song written by
a Young Man from Chicago. The Young Man believed he had written
something special--a song he felt should be heard by the
masses--and for that to happen he needed to have it
recorded
by an established name... by a Folk Star!
So when the Young Man heard that one of the biggest Folk Stars in the
world of music at the time was coming to a club in Chicago, he made his
move. As the story goes...
"The Folk Star was sitting in a club after a show trying not
to be noticed, when a Young Man approached, telling him he had a song
the Folk Star might be interested in. The Folk Star was not happy;
after all, there was always someone who wanted him to hear a
song!
The Young Man assured the Folk Star that he wouldn't be
disappointed, telling him the song was about riding around on
railroads. At that point the Folk Star said, "I
hate train
songs!" But the Young Man would not quit, he would
not be
deterred. So, to get rid of the Young Man, the Folk Star said,
"Fine, give me your tape." The Young Man
didn't
have a tape, but said he could play it for him, adding: "I
promise to leave you alone if you just listen to it, just
once."
The Folk Star was incensed, made even more angry at this point by being
forced to sit and listen to the Young Man actually play the song for
him! But, if for no other reason than to get back to his privacy, the
Folk Star agreed to hear the Young Man play.
By the time the Young Man had finished, the Folk Star had completely
changed his mind. Choked up by the power of what he had just heard, and
fighting back tears, the Folk Star said: "I was wondering if
maybe, just perhaps, you might give me permission to record your
song?" "Well, yes," said the
Young Man.
"I'd be honored. That is why I played it for
you."
Recently, the website 'Folk Alley' published a list of the 100
Greatest/Most Essential Folk Songs of All time. The list includes:
1) This Land is Your Land (Woody Guthrie)
2) Blowin' In the Wind (Bob
Dylan)
3) __________________________________
4) If I Had a Hammer (Pete Seeger)
5) Where Have All the Flowers Gone? (The
Kingston
Trio)
And the #3 song? A little tune about a train ride called,
"The City of New Orleans", written by a Young Man
named
Steve Goodman... recorded by a Folk Star named Arlo Guthrie:
the son
of the man who was voted #1.
Had Arlo Guthrie not agreed to sit and listen to Steve play his tune
that night, he would have missed the opportunity to join his father,
Woody Guthrie, who was voted #1.

"It's
the oldest sales cliché in the work, 'every 'No' gets you
closer
to a yes,' but those clichés are clichés for a
reason,
they work some of the time, and that one does." - Larry Winget
