There used to be a band in Cambridge that played with Joan Baez and co. back in the day. Does anyone remember them?

Yes I do ! They were one of the first folk records I purchased way back in the early '60's. I should still have it floating around somewhere in my collection. They had a great college boy sound, and did some songs I've never heard anyone else do -- one about a big storm at sea, based on a historical incident. (Galveston ??).

Your post just shot me back forty years, what a leap !

Is that raunch or ranch?

'Home on the Raunch' will never be quite the same again.

Yup Les, remember 'em well. You might enjoy both Tom Rush's and The Seldome Scene's versions of Galveston flood.....or even mine, now that I'm reminded of it.
