I feel the way I felt when Donald Mills died, the last of the Mills Brothers. A reunion in Heaven!

Fred Hellerman was called "the ubiquitous Fred Hellerman" in the liner notes of one of my parents' Elektra Records folk-music recordings. He played in the session for "Songs from many Lands," for example, with Theodore Bikel and Geula Gill, a session that included banjo-ist Billy Faier. He has left many recordings behind, with and without the Weavers.
