Quite a bit more to say about the Beers Family, which I don't know near as much about as Sandy et al would. Bob Beers' wife was (is?) Evelyn, who played and sang old songs in a kind of art-renaissance style not much in vogue nowadays (think Richard Dyer-Bennett if that means anything to you). The daughter, Martha, was married for some years to Eric Nagler, a consummate fiddler/banjoist/singer who has been one of the most popular children's performers in Canada for many years.

The Beers family started the much-beloved Fox Hollow folk festival, a damn-near-perfect small trad festival in NY state near the Vt/Mass/NY corner which ran till the early eighties. Many Mudcatters would have been there--I know that's where I met Kendall Morse for example. There's a Mudcatter called "Hollowfox", wonder who that is?

Willie-O who was there once or twice...
