Subject: RE: Folklore: On Grammy Night - Elegy for Dave Van Ron
What a very nice piece -- good for Christine Lavin. I'm not sure I can handle watching the whole Grammy show, but I hope this album wins. (and I gotta get me a copy of it, whether it wins or not...)

One of the things I've always loved about Van Ronk is his eclectic choice of songs -- everything from "Careless Love" to "One Meatball" to "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" to "My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua Hawaii" to "Bryan O'Lynne" to "Cocaine Blues" to "Teddy Bears Picnic" to......

Great memories of a folk giant.
