GUEST,Sionainne San Francisco ...'The Drinking Gourd' ? (75* d) RE: San Francisco ...'The Drinking Gourd' ? 14 Oct 21


Wow-what a find! I am Peter Pinnock's daughter, Shannon Pinnock (in those days)- I have the LP Songs From the Drinking Gourd on a cd, the album cover having succumbed to too many moves and mold. My dad and mother (Gaby Pinnock) were regulars at the Gourd in those early days and our home was a gathering place for some of the other performers ie Dave and Joanne Spense, Carl Stivers, George, Bob... along with Tom and Dickie Smothers, Hoyt Axton and Pat Paulson, Tom McMillan :-) Great days!! As one of the few kids, I remember being at the Gourd, The Fox and Hounds, the Hungry I and the Purple Onion..My mother was choreographing stage moves for The Limelighters, The Cables and other performers at Ann's 440 club as well.. My dad also went down to LA in that time period to perform at The Troubadour in the early 60's. Incredible times for great music..and lots of good memories. It is lovely to see the other posts here-
