These posters really bring back some memories of what a vibrant and exciting place Seattle was in the 50's and 60's. Starting with the sponsorship of the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society in 1953, we had everyone who was anyone come through town: Pete Seeger, Sonny Terry, Guy Carawan, Walt Robertson, Bob Gobson, Bob Camp, Jesse Fuller, Roy Guest, on and on! These traveling "giants" would stay in town for several days and the hoots were awesome. They all had a strong influence on us "locals." Such times! CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
