My wife and I first heard Dick McCormack perform at a small, one-day folk fest in Montpelier, Vermont. I forget the actual name of the celebration. This was a number of years ago (the 80's perhaps). I recall him singing "Dancing With Bears" and "Waltzing Around in the Nude" among many other songs. At one performance in a school gymnasium the sound system quit but Dick told everyone to huddle together around him and he performed the set in its entirety! He was a very personable man and I liked all the songs that he sang. We may have seen him perform once at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival but of that I am not sure.
