Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Frank Hamilton-Stringsinger
Frank - besides the recordings, performances and the rest of the wonderful work you have given all of us, what means the most to me is the teaching.   The methods you instituted at the Old Town School (and elsewhere) and the School itself have been such a huge success and responsible for preserving and inspiring so much.   The Folk School of St Louis where I teach - trying to employ those same methods - was itself inspired by what you did at the Old Town School - so we are trying to carry it on to other parts of the country. You da man Frank - Happy B'day!
