Yeah, Becky, I heard the NPR interview this morning.

I saw John Cohen, along with the rest of the New Lost City Ramblers (Tom Paley and Mike Seeger) at the 1960 Berkeley Folk Festival. I met and talked with all kinds of well-known singers and folk music personalities there, including Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl, but I didn't have a chance to meet him or his two compatriots.

In addition to doing a lot of real fine old-timey string band music, they were a riot on stage. Sort of the Larry, Curly, and Moe of folk music.
