Thread Name: Lyr Req: Down by the River (from Fred Holstein)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fred Holstein Song - Down by the River
Yes, Joe, the recordings made by Rich Warren (WFMT-FM) at the memorial gathering for Fred at the Old Town School Of Folk Music last April--Chicago--were released recently as:

Remembering Fred--A Tribute To Fred Holstein----2 CDs

No label is listed and I can't find any ordering info at all on my copy. IF ANYONE HAS THAT INFO---PLEASE POST!! Three of the photos in the booklet look like mine -- ones that are also up on Bruce Kallick's web site at:

---but no matter---I'm glad to give something to the project. ---- I just noticed that credit for the very nice compilation is attributed to The Remembering Fred Group.---But all the artists donated their performances of their own songs. It's a Chicago communal effort I think.

Say, Joe, if you are still at the same box # in A........ CA I'll be sending you my copy. I'd already got one from WFMT and Rich Warren -- one that includes my maybe too earthy story for inclusion in these unique times. ;-)
