This is a set of Cds that I talked about in another thread. I think I've had it dor about 6 months now.It's on the Omega label. and is made from many concerts to sound pretty much like one concert. Fred Hellerman was the producer.Eleven selections were never before released in any format. A few deserved that fate. But the rest are wonderful.

This might be a good time to mention a great new shopw in Chicago that's being represtnted by Joann Murdock's Artist Of Note agency. (Joann is Lee's wife.) It's called WEAVERMANIA and is a recreation of the music of that famous group. Michale Smith ("Spoon River" and "The Dutchman" does Lee Hays bass parts. Barbara Barrow portrays Ronnie Guilbert. Mark Dvorak does Pete Seeger's parts and Tom Dundee sings Fred Hellerman's. I've heard a 4-song promo tape they send out and it's uncanny how close to it they get. As we turn the corner into the new century, this seems totally right. I highly recommend these good folks.

All the best,
