Thread Name: Remember The Folkway Coffeehouse?
Subject: Remember The Folkway Coffeehouse?
A recently revived thread reminded me that I'd like very much to compare memories with others who remember The Folkway Coffeehouse and Restaurant in Peterborough, New Hampshire, USA. It was started by Widdie and Jonathan Hall. I first attended as a teen, along with my brother and sister, in the seventies. Later on I worked as the desserts and drinks volunteer, in exchange for the concert and a wonderful meal from Bill in the kitchen.

Later still after Widdie died, a group of family and friends reopened the Folkway. I worked as emcee, hostess, and gift shop manager at various times. The staff treated me so kindly.

I'd love to touch base with anyone who remembers the special people and place of The Folkway... or perhaps someone who reads this also worked there as staff, volunteer, or musician.

Actually, Chelsea House in West Brattleboro was pretty wonderful, too.
Fond memories and stories welcome!
