I am a music student studying ethnomusicology, doing research on American folk music and the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago (where Steve got his start).

]]> Comment on Mary Travers, R. I. P. by Callie http://harrysmusic.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/mary-travers-r-i-p/#comment-223 Callie Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:01:59 +0000 http://harrysmusic.wordpress.com/?p=709#comment-223 Well, I guess this is what happens when you don't listen to the news, read Rolling Stone, or visit Harry's music. I was stunned this morning to learn of the passing of Mary Travers (thank you, Harry!) and will offer this little story. Many, many years ago two friends and myself were in an elevator somewhere in NYC to see some producer; my friends were excellent musicians (one is now a big name in ukelele (!) in upstate NY) to show him what they could do. I'm not quite sure of their intention, but I was along for the ride. On the way up, Mary Travers with her long blonde hair and smile stepped into the elevator. She was a heroine of mine and I was transfixed. She saw the guy's guitars, asked what they were doing and gave a big smile with words of encouragement. I will never forget that chance encounter with this wonderful woman. Well, I guess this is what happens when you don’t listen to the news, read Rolling Stone, or visit Harry’s music.

Also, a five piece string band playing in a tree (replete with bass). On account of the rain, Saturday's festivities were move to the pavilion, with benches circled around a simulated bonfire. With some amazing performances, we managed to complete all 26 sides. We are considering holding the event in the pavilion in the future because of the obviously improved comfort and acoustics. A symbolic bonfire will remind us of the smoke and mosquito years. Bill Dillof Don:
