The above gentleman posted around May of 2009 and asked the whereabouts of one Jon Adams, from whom both of us had learned a number of songs in the late 1950's and early 1960's in Fresno, California. In case you are still out there, Jon is still alive (or was as of a couple of months ago). I believe he worked for some time at the Lemoore Naval Air Station in some capacity. He recently lost his mother in an accident near Sacramento, I believe, but promised to get back in touch once things settled a bit. He has made appearances (rarely) in San Diego for a roots festival hereabouts. That was where we reconnected a few years back. The coffee house you probably recall was The Renaissance, on Blackstone Avenue. Dave Barber, a chiropractor from L.A. moved to Fresno and opened it. We must have entered service not too far apart - I was inducted in Jan. 1961.
