Thread Name: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
For those of you who remember Seattle's Pamir house, I'll admit having known Andy Aldrich, Mike Atwood, Robbie Basho, Paul Bassett, Laurel Bliss, Bryan Bowers, Rolf Cahn, Don Firth, Gene Jaleski, Paul Gillingham, John Hendricks, John Hughes, Lynne Hughes, Doc Knutson, Steve Lalor, Mike Leib, Eejim Manning, Sue Molin, Barney Munger, Jerry Murray, The Turkey Pluckers, Nancy Quensé, Billy Roberts, Walt Robertson, Alice Stuart, John Timmons, Larry Vanover, Jim Wilhelm,
Vivian Williams, Carol Crist, Sue Molin, Don MacAllister, Jef Jaisun, and Davey Coffin. John Timmons was the only one among tem who didn't play music. I don't remember Robbie Basho or Larry Vanover doing much singing, --- which may not mean they didn't --- but the rest of them did sing.

Some other names that will most likely be of interest to those who remember the Pamir House: Mike Noone, John Braheny, John Browne, Heather Hammond, Ron Ginther, Ferd Ginther, Bill Sheldon, Dallas Williams, Ed Hargadine, Barry Hall, Lulu Harshman, Mariide Widman,
Bill Gunther (A.k.a. Lee Traveler,) David Hutsell, Mike Murphy,
Nick Ogilvie, Mukilteo Trio, Phil Williams, and Myron Johnson. I'm sure there were many more, but for now that's all my memory will retrieve. These folks all sang at the Pamir House at one time or another, and as this was forty years in the past, I'm pretty sure I'm remebering mostly the ones who came back many times and did a pretty good job.

I do know for sure that Mike Atwood, John Hendricks, Don MacAllister and Walt Robertson have passed away, and I seem to recall hearing the same about Nick Ogilvie and Robbie Basho, though I'm not certain of either. Otherwise, so far as I know, the rest are still living.

We sure had a lot of fun back then. :-)
