I saw Bob Zentz in an educational spot on Armed Forces TV while stationed in Korea, told someone who knew Bob, who told him. When I finally met Bob, he said "Oh, you're the person from Korea!?" Small world.

Fame and folk..
Folk music, traditional music, and music we sing and play and not just listen to, does not leave much space for fame. Audiences are normally small, and it's easy to talk with performers. There are some more "famous" performers most of us have heard of. I've been at small concerts, and watched someone give the performer the "rock star" treatment, and I bet it embarrasses the hell out of the performer. It's still easy to do when you finally meet someone you've looked up to for a long time, even if they're only famous with you. Jeez - I hope I've never drooled on anyone, but I'll bet I have.
