In answer to the question, "Whatever happened to John Stauber?": I was briefly married to John Stauber, Leon Bibb's guitarist, in the sixties and am still in touch with him. As of this entry, in 201l, John is still playing the guitar in his home town of St Louis. John was working back-up and doing arrangements for Leon, with whom he toured regularly, when we met in 1959. After we married in 1961, John continued to work for Leon until 1963, when we opened The Jabberwock, a restaurant with live music, in Berkeley in 1963. The Jabberwock performers included John Fahey, Jesse Fuller, Terry Garthwaite, Alice Stuart and Bukka White (to name a few).

I'm glad to see that Leon and John are not forgotten. John is modest, and when I write about his accomplishments, he tends to correct me, but I know that he worked with many other fine musicians, including the Clancy Brothers, the Harry Belafonte singers, and Fred Neil. Those who want to learn more can see my web site at Belle Randall.prosody.org--specifically the reminiscence "The Day Bob Dylan Came to Visit," which tells about our lives together 1961-5.
Thanks for listening! Belle
