How is it that having grown up listening to Peter, Paul&Mary I am only now hearing the cautionary story about love and abandonment wrapped up in the tale of "The Lemon Tree"?
Are there other important life messages in folk songs that I've been missing, too?
Why did Friday night dinners at my Jewish summer camp consist of singing songs such as "Cats in the Cradle", "Circle Game" and lots of Simon&Garfunkel? And why am I suddenly listening to these songs on repeat?
