Hi Vern Ela, I was to young for the original 47 but did make it over to Palmer St to see Paul Butterfield & Co. just before it took on it's next reincarnation as Passim's. It was quite a while before I headed back to Passim's till my musical tastes changed from blues to folk. I was also to young for the Plough & Stars but that never stopped them from serving me at 16 & never stopped me from hearing Spider John (actually at that tender age I found Kernoer more interesting than beer. Matt Talbot's in the South End was another bar where us underage teens could get served drink & get to here folk/blues music. Barry
