Yep, that's the Ginni we knew in Chicago all through the 60s and 70s. -------- There wa a trio in town then. Ginni Clemmens, Guy Guilbert and Elaine "Spanky" McFarland
. Guy is in California and his e-mail was the second notification I had about this. Elaine Spanky McFarland went on to some pop/rock success as a member of the band SPANKY AND OUR GANG. In more recent years she took Mama Cass' place in the revival tours of The Mamas And The Papas. Ginni went to Maui for the peace of mind she wanted, needed and deserved. I do believe she found it there.

About a year ago Guy sent me a tape of a set from 1960 that the trio did. It was ragged but right (for the times). I'm glad I've got it.

One more aside: There was another trio, THE FRETS, that were the house band at the Sunday afternoon hootenanny's at the old GATE OF HORN folk night spot in Chicago. The folks in that band were Jim (Roger) McGuinn, John Carbo (who later was film editor on THE BLUES BROTHERS), and Louis MacDonald on conga drum.

When Roger McGuinn left the group to play backup guitar and banjo for The Chad Mitchell Trio, Guy Guilbert took over McGuinn's spot.

I must've posted this before-----but what the hell.
