In the mid-to-late sixties, the good Doctor was a regular visitor to Montreal, and one of my favourites. Moyse Hall, once & the Back Door Coffee House & I guess other places as well. Aside from the great playing, singing etc., he was a terrific stage presence, amiable and an excellent sense of humour. Lots of variety, too. In between the folkie stuff, he'd throw in a little rock & roll, a bit of jazz, and some strange show tunes.

One of his odder appearances is on a vinyl LP, Roger Sprung's Progressive Bluegrass, which I greatly love.
