Subject: RE: pete and arlo
Hi, Joe..Boy I envy your library..I have a real soft spot for Pete..Amazingly enough, the guy has even heard "me" sing..A lengthy but favorite incident when I sent him a tape asking him to try and schedule a concert closer in to my part of the country & I sang a Scandinavian Dialect song called, "Swanson, Swenson, & Jensen" to finish off the end of the tape..I even heard from him & he wanted to consider it for publication in Sing out!....It's kind of like you being invited to play with that ball team you loved on that other thread. I can tell you further adventures regarding that, but not now.

My wife bought a CD of his for me for Christmas..I'm always amazed at how the guy can get an audience to sing in part harmony, to songs they never even heard before!..I saw Arlo at a local University Fiddle & Folk Festival, (with Paxton & other greats) a couple of summers ago..It seemed just like old times..he has that same laid back manner.. Really miss those 60's..
