Thread Name: Info req: Bill Bonyun
Subject: RE: Bob Coltman

I'm sorry if I'm off topic here, but I've been searching the web for references to Bill Bonyun and this is the first place where folks have mentioned knowing him. From age 5 through 12 I lived in Sturbridge, MA where my parents worked at Old Sturbridg Village. During the summers Bill played ballads on the village green and I spent a lot of time sitting at his feet. He's the reason I started playing guitar - he even arranged for the purchase of my first guitar - a Tatay! Anyway, I am looking for any old records or music published by Bill. In particular I'm looking for the children's ballads like Billy Barlow, 3 Little Pigs, etc. that he performed. Does anyone here know if there is someone I could contact for this type of information? Bill's family or musical partners? I hope to do a record using the old ballads I remember him performing. If you can help me please email me at 1blinddog@comcast.net. Thank you...Stuart Frazier
