Thread Name: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Someone on this thread asked the whereabouts of Mary Smith, from Flint, MI. Funny thing, I've been thinking about her recently. When I lived in Flint, I was in a trio, and she and I were friends from church (true!) she was the first to get a Martin guitar, and knew all the Ewan McColl, Buffy Ste. Marie songs etc.... very talented. We ran into each other over the subsequent foggy late 60's, and I saw her at the Bull Pub at University of Minnesota, Duluth campus, and she was apparently living in NYC..and mysterious about her life to that point. She had been very talented, with a striking Judy Collings-esque voice. With a name like hers, I would imagine near impossible to find. I also ran into Eric Anderson in Milt Okun's office in '68, and haven't heard from him since. How about Bob(?)Boyce, of Denver, Boyce & Johnson (I last saw him in Duluth in '69), about the time John Deutchendorf (aka John Denver hit it big as a solo). Lastly, there is John Fraser (chad Mitchell trio)again, lost track of him in '69. Memory lane is dusty.
