Thread Name: Little known '60s Folk Singers
Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
I stumbled upon this thread and really enjoyed reliving the 4 Winds scene. My brother, Ted, invited me to join the Hunker Hill String Band in 1965, so that makes me a little-known folksinger! The band was named for our childhood home in Hunker, PA. Ted died in '02.

I saw Charlie Chin at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN about 5 years ago. He was a featured performer telling stories of the Chinese immigrant days in San Francisco. He was great! Jay Unger is no little-known folksinger. He is, of course, the composer of Ashokan Farewell, the theme song of Ken Burn's Civil War film. He still tours and performs.
