Martin Carthy"Martin Carthy's one of the grand old men of the '60s English folk revival, and he's still at it. He's a literal father of folk music; his daughter, Eliza, is a fine fiddler and singer. Eliza's mom is Norma Waterson, and Norma's self-titled album from 1996 featured all of them, plus Richard Thompson and Danny Thompson, who aren't related to each other or to the Watersons and Carthy, as far as I know. Martin supposedly taught "Scarborough Fair" to Paul Simon; I don't think we should hold either of them guilty for the dribble of pallid imitators that followed."
