Hmm. Still at it, eh?

Deli Lama, I admire your tenacity, but when it comes to enlightening the masses, I tend to think you might be fighting an uphill battle, as in "Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is made up!!" Around here, I've pretty much learned to say what I have to say and bug out. Saves a lot of time and aggravation. But then, you missionaries from Shangri-La are dedicated to enlightening the masses and have a lot more patience than I do.

Art, if you're still checking in on this, I'm curious; when did the Old Town School of Folk Music first get started in Chicago? I tried to find some history on it on the internet, and so far, other than a few things about the school itself, I can't find out much about it. Even back in the Fifties, I had the impression that it had been around for awhile. Since maybe before Stonehenge was built?
