Betsy Siggins 7: I think places like Club 47 gave us the space and the sanctity that no one was going to boo you there. It’s still the same way, nobody boos people there. It’s called a listening audience for a good reason. You’re there to experience the musician’s lifeline. I think it happened in a college town because college students probably already knew about things like Childe Ballads and the Weavers, the more popular folk that was around then.
