Happy Birthday!
Frank Hamilton
was born
8/3/1934
So many credits and nice feller as well...
Picker, graduate of Fairfax High School, co-founder and first instructor of the Old Town School of Folk Music, Erstwhile "Weaver," "Dusty Road Boy" and "Sierra Folk Singer" - now teaching & writing in Atlanta & concerting everywhere. Playing swing jazz too. I found a number of records (especially Folkways) and also one publication: Lecture on Phrenology delivered before the "Rochester Athenaeum" on Feb. 9th, 1841. (There's a chance this last was a different Frank Hamilton, however.)
Nice piece on him at allmusic.com
