Thread Name: Folk Singers who Have Died
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died
One of the Biggies in the Pacific Northwest, who died almost exactly two years ago. Stan James.
Scroll down. Great pictures of Stan in action, most taken by Sally Ashford. One photo is a street scene (a bit fuzzy), including Walt Robertson and Merritt Herring, both of whom are no longer with us.
Further down is a photo taken of the "grand finale" of the Seattle Coffeehouse Reunion ("Geezer's Concert") at the 2003 Northwest Folklife Festival.
Not everyone who sang in the coffeehouses during the late 50s and through the 60s were there. Some live in other parts of the country, and some have passed on.
There are some great song fests going on Somewhere. . . .
