Yes Barbara, I was cutting a piece out of Stewie's long message above, but it didn't work. All I wanted to say was bars like the Mowhawk Ranch, Hillbilly Ranch, etc... sound like rough places but at least there were regular venues for Bluegrass bands in Boston then. Maby there still are but I don't know about them. I just played a gig for the reunion of the USS Columbus and they told me about hanging out there (Hillbilly Ranch) and the great music, I guess they would be some of the "sailors". Thanks Stewie for that message, I like to hear about Boston bluegrass stuff.
