Bill, Spike Lee's father, was a mainstay bass player in the Chicago folk club, "The Gate of Horn" and performed with Odetta, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and other acts that went through the time period of 1957 through 1961. I worked with him playing five-string banjo on the Clancy's and Tommy's recording taken at the Gate of Horn, "Hearty and Hellish" along with Bruce Langhorne on guitar.
