I'm late to this news, having decided this morning to see if Ray was still around.

I was a wannabe folkie in high school in the '60s, starting the Maywood Folk Festival so I could have a place to sing. Both Prines appeared (John and Dave), along with many others. I listened to the Midnight Special religiously, evening obsessively writing down every song/skit/whatever title. Whew.

I once called Norm to talk about the various things he repeated (a lot, if you were listening religiously and writing everything down!). He was incredibly gracious to me, a youngun. We talked for probably a half hour. What a guy.
