Subject: RE: Merlin Banjo
I mean no offense to anyone by alluding to Pete's good Viet Nam era song--Waist Deep In The Big Muddy---with it's "fool" reference. This was 45 years ago we're talking about. I always enjoyed Bill Malloy's nusic and humor (as off the wall as my own) and those folks were pioneers. Few had ever heard of anything like a "fol nightclub". The New Wine Singers were pretty great for back then.
