DannyC Little known '60s Folk Singers (1004* d) RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers 18 Apr 09


Jim McGrath (mentioned in Aug, 2006 of this thread) is here in KY The Bluegrass for a visit. (Okay, we're gonna back a few horses, like the old days... What of it?) His travelling companion was kind enough to show me a couple of performing pics from a place called "The Hunt Cup" in Newport, RI (USA) in 1962.

She's got a couple of nice shots of him fresh our of the American Navy singing and accompanying himself on guitar (one with a sporty madras jacket). He states that the $8.00 per night earnings from the gig comprised a nice upgrade from the $44 every-two-weeks that The Navy had been paying... not to mention a few drinks and the attention of some fine and lovely company.

He's #845 in the complilation put together by BK Lick.

1962.... Damn... That's getting to be a little while ago, isn't it?

Sing-song tonight -- a few quiet tunes -- a glass or two -- here's to a half-century ago.
