GUEST,Mark Clark Merlin Banjo (and the Chicago Folk Scene) (113* d) RE: Merlin Banjo 13 Dec 04


I can remember the New Wine Singers but I don't think I've ever had a Merlin banjo in my hands. I remember hearing about them but that was as close as I got.

But Art, tell me about the location of the Rising Moon. I somehow recalled the old Rising Moon as being on Pearson between State and Rush or at least close to there. There was a sunken bar in the front but the back had a framed stage and dance floor and and railed balcony. I know you used to play there and Chad Mitchell when Paul Prestopino was backing them up. We use to hang out in the bar after hours with Hoyt Axton and his enterage. What *was* that place if not the Rising Moon?

Boy, this age thing just ain't working out.
