Right you are, Bruce! "Ivar's Acres of Clams" seafood restaurant. Probably one of the earliest live "folk" shows in the country. Ought to be more of 'em. I think I actually learned the song from Walt Robertson, who had a very early television show in Seattle, just sittin' there, strummin' his guitar and singin' folksongs. Imagine! No gimmicks. Walt and I sang together quite a lot, back in those early days. He visited us here in Connecticut only a few years before he died. Another man done gone.
