Long before there was a World Wide Web there were text-based newsgroups and/or bulletin boards and e-mail listservs. Usenet was one of the best-known newsgroup discussion systems and was in its heyday back in the early/mid 90s. The Usenet newsgroup that discussed folk music was called rec.music.folk. Rec.music.folk still exists under Google Groups - but the level of traffic is nothing like it once was. In searching the archives of rec.music.folk I came across a review of a show Ellis did at Eddie's Attic in 1995 and thought I would link it here. The author described Ellis Paul as "Art Garfunkle with more body and soul."
