The correct name for da man is Ed Balchowsky. I knew him as well as anyone got to know Eddie. Even have recordings by him.

I have put some reminiscences and pictures of Ed at my photo website that BK Lick so graciously provided for my snapshots . One is of Ed Balchowsky with Studs Terkel and his late wife Ida in Chicago at the Old Town School Of Folk Music. Several others of Ed at the Quiet Knight are there too.

Also, Mudcatters, there are hundreds of new photos in the PLACES album at that site. I'll start a thread about those after they are fitted with basic labels. MORE extensive info on the snapshots will be added as I find time to do that.

Again, Bruce Kallick, THANKS SO MUCH for all you're doing there!!
