Subject: RE: Boston 60's folk acts...
Lots of crossed paths here, but often at different times.

I left Boston in June of 1969 for southern parts (don't ask!) When I returned a year later the great folk diaspora was almost complete. Chris Smither, Paul Geremia and Bill Staines had gone on the road to greater fame. Most of the rest headed north to Plum Island and Newburyport and I had gone back to NH. I did a couple gigs at the Turks Head that summer, but that was the last time I played on Charles Street.

The old gang was semi rconstituted at the Stone Church which opened in Dec. of 1970. I think that kenny Girard was the last to leave Boston.

The only member of Clean Living I knew was Norn Schell, but I did enjoy their rendition of "In Heave There Is No Beer" and the only recording of my friend Alan Rotman's gospel song "Jesus Is My Subway Line"

Good memories - Tom
