During the "Joseph Scriven weekend in Port Hope, Ontario a few years back, George, who was a fan of Joseph Scriven's song, "What A Friend We Have In Jesus", came to Port Hope to perform. He had no problem mixing with the local musicians and even mentioned our performance and had a little story to tell about how Joseph Scriven would have appreciated one of the songs we sang.

During the Great Folk Scare, there was a truly awful movie called "Hootenanny Hoot" that took advantage of the popularity of folk music and must have been written by someone who had very little knowledge about the genre. They somehow talked several folkies into performing in the movie and most of them managed to embarrass themselves thoroughly. Johnny Cash and Judy Henske were pretty bad, but George sang a great Abilene, without having to goof around for the story line.
Check out Hootenanny Hoot on YouTube for some pretty bad acting, but some good singing from George.
