Anyone remember singer-songwriter Michael Hurley from Greenwich Village in the 60s? He made something of a splash. He appears in the (quite good) movie "Leave No Trace" and sings a couple of songs.

I saw him play a month ago in London. His playing is very good and still writing well

Michael Hurley, I believe, lives in Portland, Oregon, these days. I have a number of his recordings, which are quite good, representing his distinctive writing, knowledge of tradition, and oddball sense of humor. He appears most recently on the excellent 2-disc Smithsonian Folkways album Roll Columbia: Woody Guthrie's 26 Northwest Songs (2017). He sings "Pastures of Plenty" with Jon Neufeld.

I had a few of his albums, and just saw Leave No Trace---a great movie.   And his singing around the campfire was very 'welcoming'.
