Listening to Len Wallace, Great singer,songwriter, and storyteller. Politics are progressive, and he does it all with an accordian. Unbelievable. I drop in to this topic just to listen, and share everyone elses fun, but the northern michigan topics brought back some recollections. North Country folk fest, early eighties, at Gogebic comm. college. Folk dancing at the Armory in town....also... reference harpgirl to hanging with Linda Siglin...I logged more miles than anyone but the performers...getting to the Ark...and the folk festival...missed the first two. Used to live in a cultural wasteland...now if you are in northeast Michigan in the winter, check out the monthly events put on by the Corsair Trail ski counsel, held Nov.-Mar. in the Catholic church social hall in Tawas City. Art, I wish you well, didn't know of your condition, do you still have that dog...the one that was so good that when he was rabbit hunting, he got on two tracks, so he split himself in half and caught both of 'em?
