Probably Sam Hinton, a local folk hero of some magnitude who has recently removed to a retirement home. Sam, who I had the pleasure of meeting and swapping songs with in the home of mutual friends years ago, was a treasure of song and story and a wonderfully broad based conversationalist on subjects from literature to oceanography. I first saw him perform at the old Ash Grove, in Los Angeles, in the very early 1960's, along with Mike Seeger and the New Lost City Ramblers, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and a new singer making her debut, Jackie DeShannon.
