Subject: RE: Merlin Banjo (and the Chicago Folk Scene)
Art, I had one of Paddy Bauler's famous free haircuts across the street at a small barber shop on North and Sedgewick. I think Win arranged it.

I had a trio Monday nights at Mike Bloomfield's "Fickle Pickle" playing pop folk stuff ala Mighty Wind. At the time, Dick Gregory would come down and do a guest set after his stint at Robert's Show Lounge on the South Side. My co-horts were Bob Rose, Bernie "Cheyanne" Schatz and we had Bob Gibson as a visitor from time to time.
