Glad to be of service.

I visited the Bay area in the early 80s and had a great time. I went to a folk camp among the redwoods organised by the SFFMC, and then went back and stayed in Faith Petric's extended household.
There was a small maritime festival on one of the piers, where I met Louis Killen, and Stan Hugill, what a character! That ended with an inforgettable firework display in the fog. We watched the fog change colour for ages!
I also got to see the great Clifton Chenier and his band play a local dance in Richmond. I recall that they played for 3 hours!
