first met caryl p (and wendy g) at a rochester NY GL festival in 1981 or 82...I remember dueling versions of Roseville Fair, caryl p and "the ark" bob w making dewey-eyes at each other singing townes' "if I needed you", while singing partners and ex-wives grit their teeth...told her I was going to philly in the fall, and she gave me her "naked girl on a motorcycle" business card...we hung out at PFSS parties, cherry tree, bothy club (which I ended up running-I booked her regularly until she left)...I had fun at juggernaut sb jams, until some bad blood developed with her and peter t...she hooked me up with dennis g and kathy d'a, which later became an ot band...I remember her gurian w/ over-the-top fretboard inlays...

caryl was a superb singer, instrumentalist, interpreter, song writer and performer. she was a scream to be around. murray c told me she was unwell..I am so sorry to hear of her passing...
