Thread Name: Obit: Faith Petric (1915-25 Oct 2013)
Subject: RE: Obit; Faith Petric (1915-25 Oct 2013)
Richard Adrianowicz would bring Faith to some of the SF chantey sings. Faith would sing "Sammy's Bar" and other nautical songs. We'll have a moment of silence, and then a whole lot of singing in her honor at the next one.

I missed her earlier years at the SF Folk Club, first hearing her sing as a regular floor singer at Dick Holdstock and Allan Macleod's Castle Folk Club in the late 1980's and early 90's. At Camp Harmony she wrote a satirical song about eating thanksgiving turkey....can't remember the lyrics, but we loved her singing it at the camp ceili night.

Rest in peace.
