Of the many weird guitars from the 1960s, the Italians are my favorites. EKO, Vox, Crucianelli, Wandre, and Gemeli... it’s hard to keep up. The Welson company, like its Italian neighbor EKO, produced guitars under many names and even made a few models for Vox and Wurlitzer. Welson was founded in the 1920s, in the city of Castelfidardo, by Orlando Quagliardi. The company made accordions but switched to manufacturing electric guitars as demand for the instrument increased in the ’60s. The 1964 Kinton V3 model shown here reveals that Welson was a fine instrument maker, even though the delightfully cheesy accordion-style...

Covering other artists’ songs is an age-old practice in the musical world. The traditional music canon thrived on the recycling of old hymns, secular tunes, and pre-written song formats. While this practice isn’t quite as common today, most of the popular songs topping the charts in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s were covers of musical theater standards, folk and blues tunes, and even remakes of contemporary hits.

Folk music singers are storytellers who use their music to convey narratives of cultural heritage, social change, and personal experiences. Rooted in tradition and often accompanied by acoustic instruments like guitars, banjos, and fiddles, folk singers blend authenticity with a grassroots appeal. From the protest songs of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez that fueled social movements to the introspective ballads of Joni Mitchell and Woody Guthrie, folk music singers capture the essence of everyday life and universal themes. Their music resonates with listeners by celebrating diversity, advocating for justice, and preserving oral histories across generations.
