Frank,
That was a great LP album---FRANK HAMILTON---THE FOLKSINGER'S FOLKSINGER. I used to have it. I learned "Blue Mountain" from your recording of it, and it wound up on my first LP. And it was a variation of your tune for "Geordy" that I used for my doing of "Robin Hood's Death."

(I guess I still think it was less than kind/classy of K. and G. to so publicly make fun of those sincere renditions by others.)

Is that old LP available on CD? It sure ought to be...
And your solo instrumental version of "Meadowlands"---the time you did it in 1961 at the U. Of Illinois-Chicago-Navy Pier concert; I've always loved the tape I had of that song from back then. The LP called Nonesuch you and Pete did for Folkways was good---but just your solo performance just blew mw away. Geez, that was a long time ago!!!
