Musician's Birthdays - Folk Music, Bluegrass and Old-Time Music, Country Blues, Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitarists, etc.
This started out in October 1991 just as a simple birthday list for the discographies I was working on. But as more sources were found, it evolved into a Master Reference and Index for all found musicians and others in the above musical fields.
It contains the name (or professional name and birth name), and if known, birth and death dates, birthplace, place of death and starting page for the references for the artist or group I have found in the listed sources. Not all of the listed book and magazine sources are completely indexed. Included are only those sources which have a special listing, section, discography or biographical sketch for the artist or group, and not for every single occurrence of their name. * If the artist was part of a group, there is a list of all groups they belong(ed) to. For those unfamiliar with them, there is a key to the birthplace U.S. state codes used by the U.S. Postal Service.
* There is one exception to the above limitation of not including references which may not have a separate section for an artist. Because of the wide scope of their 12 and 16 page indexes, with 3 columns of names per page, if an artist is listed in either of the two editions of "The Folk Music Sourcebook", that source is listed here. See the index in each book for the specific page number reference(s) for the artist.
"Index" = a link to the
artist or group's main Index entry.
"[...]" = the reason why an artist appears here, even though
they may seem out of place because they normally don't come close to
fitting any of the above musical fields. In many cases, eg. B.B. King,
Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Winter and others appear here for completeness'
sake, because they appear in at least one major Folk Music or Country
Blues source. Some non-Folk groups appear because one or more of their
members started out in Folk Music, for example, Denny Doherty and John
Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas. And lastly, a few appear simply
because, 1) they are some of my personal favorite performers, Bill Cosby,
Barbra Streisand, Blood Sweat & Tears and others, 2) like
Rodgers and Hammerstein or Ira Gershwin, folk musicians have recorded
their music, 3) they were born or have lived in
Wisconsin, 4) they have the same
birth or death date as
the Webmaster's birth date,
or 5) they were
Star Trek "Voyager"
cast members.
"...." in the birth date column means this is a group.
"{...}" = the title of the obituary article in
"Sing Out!"
magazine. Everyone written up in the listed issues is indexed here
regardless of their musical field.
Listing Format:

below the "death date", I do not know where the artist died.

The bibliographic information included on these
"FolkLib Index - Musician's Birthdays/Bibliography"
pages is the result of my personal research since
10-11-1991
in finding and indexing print references
for the listed musical artists and groups. To
my knowledge, the size and scope of this bibliographic
detail does not exist anywhere else, either in print or on the World Wide
Web. You may reprint an individual artist's or group's list of
references, but only if you give proper credit to
"Doug Henkle's Folk Library Index" and, either a link to this page,
or if in print, the URL of this page.
