Big Al-

Those that I met were memorable but only a few made it all the way up to Maine, and in those times one didn't travel to folk festivals. Well, there were glaciers, and dinosaurs, and things too fierce to mention.

The best song party folks were Dyer-Bennet, Bill & Gene Bonyun, and Denis Puleston. Bill & Gene were the only ones who lived here year around, and they did network with other folk music people throughout New England.

But I didn't start leading songs myself until I got to college in 1960, and discovered for the first time in my life that I had a social asset, an inventory of folk songs.
