You Don't Have to be a Lefty to be a Folkie

Common wisdom says that if you're strumming a guitar and singing your own songs, you're probably left-wing, maybe even a communist.

And there's something to be said for that. There are a lot of lefty singer/songwriter types. (At the Narrows, of course, we care little about politics. We're totally devoted to the arts!)

That's why we'd like to bring to your attention that right-wing radio and television commentator Laura Ingraham defies the common wisdom by promoting Slaid Cleaves, who has been a Narrows' favorite for several years. She's also a Wilco fan!

Don't believe us? Visit www.lauraingraham.com and check out the music stuff.

Whether you're to the right or left, you're welcome at the Narrows! And you don't even have to be a folkie, since we feature, in 2005, very unfolkie performers such as Marshall Crenshaw, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, State Radio, Graham Parker, and Katahdin's Edge!
