wendyg Obit: Bill Staines (1947-2021) (51* d) RE: Obit: Bill Staines (1947-2021) 06 Dec 21


We first booked him at the Cornell Folk Song Club in 1973, off a demo tape. Come time to make the poster, no one knew anything about him (people weren't so organized in those days about photos and press kits), so our poster-maker decided on a silhouette of a man sitting on a stool playing a guitar. How could it go wrong?

We didn't know he was left-handed.

Last time I saw Bill, probably 15 years ago, he was closing in on 2 million miles traveled as a folksinger. I'm guessing he must have come close to 3 million, all told. We will all miss him.
