Folk-rock hasn't changed much over the decades since the Byrds started it.

There was just no way I could leave this little Martin guitar in my apartment overnight or even in the afternoon, and expect to find it there when I got back.

And the music, as far as a type of music, it's still pretty viable.

I just play, and I'm always trying to write songs.
