Thread Name: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Two names from the late 1950's and early 1960's sprang to mind yesterday. One, Pete Jacobs, appears on someone's list, above. I saw him in Fresno, CA, at the old Renaissance coffee house in about 1960 when he was doing the west coast circuit. I have often wondered what became of him.

The other, Hadley Batchelder III (yes, III) was a San Diego based singer who made his way to Seattle in about 1962. Years later, I ran into him when he was dean of a local law school. If you ever saw Hadley, you would remember his stentorian vocal renderings.
