Comment on A short history of a music magazine by shazzamite

I’ve been out of the folk music loop since I ‘retired’ from agency work in 1996 but I’m still very sadden by the demise of such a wonderful ‘rag’. Paul and Sue were always willing to go the extra mile (or kilometer) to help publicize my new artists and continue to give ink to my veterans.

Thanks for the help, the memories, the hard work.

Thanks for writing Paul! I’ll check out the articles you mention here. Also, Driftwood’s most current review of Patti Smith opens with a Lady Gaga mention! Ha! But it’s tastefully done and aids the overall article. Also, Driftwood’s writing (mine own writing possibly excepted) is always top-notch!

Hi, Charlie,

Even though we’re online, you can still subscribe. Just go to Driftwoodmagazine.com, and in the lower right there’s a subscription box. It’s free, and ad-free (well, WordPress sometimes puts its own ads up once in a while, but I’ve never personally seen one).

Thanks,
Jack Hunter

Thanks, Paul! I especially like that “old joke”!

It’s entirely online. Although I’m not involved in Driftwood decisions, I suspect that it would be prohibitively expensive to start up. Sue and I considered starting another print publication over a year ago and decided that we didn’t have the finances to make it work. Unfortunately, it’s like the old joke: “How do you make a small fortune in folk music? Start with a large one.”

Is Driftwood a print magazine to which one can subscribe, or is it entirely online?

Great News, Paul! Maybe you’ll get a raise!

I ought to follow up here. The winner of the "guest DJ on Detour" was Ty Ford, former DJ at WAYE, WHFS, and 98 Rock. Check the Playlist section of www.detourradio.com for the playlist of June 20th, 2011. No one bid on the huge collection of Dirty Linen magazines. I'm sad...

Late to the wake here, alas. I’m very sorry to hear DL is no more. I had to drop my subscription in 2004, due to Real Life Expenses (like a mortgage), but I still have all my back issues going back to 1989. I loved DL. It introduced me to so much wonderful music from all over the world. I even compiled an index of the reviews in most of the issues I had. I can’t begin to thank you all for all the music and fun.

Best of luck to all involved in their new ventures.

If you go back to Fairport Fanatics days then you have a pretty complete set!
