So if it's Folk Music Night ...

[Scuba]

Love the two 12-strings. Robust sound.

1. That song was a winner

It went right to no. 1 on Billboard. I remember in Junior High in 1963 when two "jocks" who were kind of obnoxious pricks at the time got up in front of the school to sing that tune and play guitar in the auditorium. It's funny that their involvement in music softened them up after that and they stopped being bullies and started becoming cool. That's what music could do.

This tune only has one 12 string and a 6 string but it's one of my absolute favorites in the genre. These four Australians were one of my fond memories of the 60s. I was in love with Judith Durham (still am) and I think she had the purest, strongest, and most charming voice of the era in that style. And she happened to be the best musician among the four; singing to her was secondary to her exceptional talent on the piano as a jazz pianist. She was an amazing performer.

2. Thanks for the correction on the guitars. I've had that wrong for 50 years!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

8. No I wasn't correcting you

I was referring to the Seekers having a 12 and a 6 string. But now that you mention it, I'm not sure what the Rooftop Singers used. This photo shows two 6 strings, I've seen one of them playing a 12 string in others, and I tend to agree with you that on Walk Right In it sounds pretty full, like maybe both guitarists were on 12 strings.

10. OK, I remembered that one guy was a lefty. I can still see those 12-strings facing each other.

Maybe. Hmmm.

18. Looks like two 12s to me - Here are two more hits from my beloved Seekers

and my goddess Judith Durham.

[Scuba]

20. Outstanding. I'd forgotten that Georgy Girl was a Seekers song.

The bass player's horned rims look just like the ones in my senior pic. Very hip.

[Scuba]

38. And another 60s hit tune from the angelic voice

27. Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction 1965

Eve of Destruction was written by 19-year-old songwriter P. F. Sloan in 1965 and eventually became Barry McGuire's one and only big Billboard chart hit song.

The song is a grave warning of imminent apocalypse, and considered by some to be the epitome of a protest song. It expressed the frustrations and fears of young people in the age of the Cold War, Vietnam, the nuclear arms race, and the civil rights movement.

"You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'" refers to the fact that in the United States in 1965, men were subject to the draft at age just 18, while at that time the minimum voting age (in all but four states) was 21.
