Thread Name: Obit: Guy Carawan (1927-2015)
Subject: RE: Obit: Guy Carawan
I met Guy in 1982 when Margaret Nelson and I were asked to open for him at a concert at the David Adler Cultural Center in Libertyville, Illinois. He was very nice. I wound up jamming with him on guitar on the tune Banish Misfortune, which he played on hammer dulcimer. He also wrote a great promo blurb for us. I believe Michael Cooney once said there were people who played a tune faster than Guy, but nobody played a tune better.
