His repertoire includes a vast array of folksongs and allied forms in the English language, many with choruses. Pete Seeger has called him "a great songleader." Joe calls himself a "vintage pre-plugged paleo-acoustic folksinger." In 1960 he wrote the 4th and 5th verses of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." He has recordings on the Folk-Legacy and Folkways labels, ranging from 1957 to 2003. Joe also has a career as a folklorist, ethnomusicologist, archivist, and librarian; For 35 years (1963-1998) he was Librarian and Director of the Archive of Folk Song/Culture at the Library of Congress. He lectures and writes on a variety of folk music topics, and is available for song and copyright researches.

Folks, if you are in the Buffalo, NY area, you should not miss this concert. Joe Hickerson is one of our most important figures in folk music. His breadth of knowledge, repertoire, and his years of collecting make him a universally respected figure. But that is eclipsed by his way with a lyric, his fantastic sense of humor, and his delivery of the yarn he is singing. Toss in a wonderfully warm voice, skillful accompaniment on the guitar, and the knowledge of where each of his songs come from, and you have a recipe for an evening which will leave you elated you devoted the time to it.

I cannot urge you strongly enough to not miss the opportunity to spend an evening with Joe Hickerson. I sure wish I was a bit closer, because I would surely be there.

All the best,

Mick Lane

And me stuck here. We went and elected us a new Bishop, and there are associated goings-on I can't miss. On the other hand, it's a really COOL new Bish-- he's the bomb!
