Subject: RE: The Weavers and the McCarthy Era
,,,and I was on the coast---1967-'68----started a place called THE FOLK ART SHOP ---highway 101 in Depoe Bay, Oregon. We picked D.B 'case we fell in love with it. Had everything we owned (books and music--dog and cat) in a VW bus fresh from Chicago where I'd been asst. manager of the Old Town Folklore Center. Had a ball squandering a small inheritance and pissing off parents. Since there was no folk scene we could find (maybe we didn't look in the right places), we wound up back in Chicago in '69. Our son was born in '70----and now we are here.
