Active in the 1950s as well, when I remember singing at quite a few parties from 1956 through '59, coming down from Hanover NH and staying over in a sleeping bag for the weekend.

You never knew who might show up there; in about winter 1958 (I think) Rev. Gary Davis came in and sang; I remember sitting at his feet and watching his fingers move on those frets.

Bob Keppel's name brings back memories of Bob and Bobbie singing there, as well as Jim Butler, Lulu McGraw and many more whose faces I recall but not their names. Among them the guy named Jerry, not a singer, who lived upstairs at Old Joe's showing me his cherished first edition of H.P. Lovecraft's rare (even then) first edition of The Outsider and Others (a mutual obsession) ... So it was sort of a fabulously multifaceted place.

Wish I could dredge my memory for more names, but it's getting to be, well, a long time.
