Allen S.: Grizzly Bear lyrics - When I woke up this morning she was gone (2x)/I used to love to watch her dance the Grizzly Bear/I'll bet she's gone to 'Frisco to dance it there/But when I woke up this morning she was gone/Listen to me people, everybody knows it's true/The more you do for others the less they do for you/She left town and she throwed me down/Now she's gone, gone. -- this is basically the Geoff Muldar version...but Jessie Colin Young & the Youngbloods did a nice version that went into a bouncy-back-and-forth part of: She did not even (did not even, did not, did not) tell me (tell me, tell me, tell me) why (why) she had gone/she did not even (did not did not....).

Ralph Butts: thanks much for the link to Lyman stuff. Reading through it should keep me busy for a while.

A friend whose brother was involved with the Lyman family told me years ago (like 1973) that Jim Kweskin became quite weakened by some aspect of the Lyman activities, and that for a while he was know as "Squishy" within the family because he became ultra-complacent.

EDJB and Kweskin band were major influences on me in the '60's and beyond. I was fortunate to see/hear Kweskin's band play in a small club in D.C., and to meet Maria Muldar in a small store just before a gig at I think it was the Cafe a go-go in NYC. I think my heart is still somewhere in that store.
