Subject: RE: What was Lee Hays really like...?
Frank,

Would you know anything about the tapes Lee made of Cisco before the latter passed away? Just 2 friends talking and singing and telling stories for posterity---to make a permanent record of some things before Cisco wasn't able to do that any longer. I've asked that here in 2 separate threads, but nobody had any real answers. What with all the reissues by Rounder of all of Alan Lomax's field recorded material, it seems those tapes would be prime materials for this era. And I'm sure there would be a market for at least a small run of those on CD.

I know I'd love to hear 'em.

Art.

P.S.----You and Eric doing "San Francisco Bay Blues" at the reunion is a classic. How did that rendition/tune/arrangement happen. (Sure don't mean to snoop---but while you're here...)
