Kendall - One of the guys I've picked with for years used to Frail and he tried to teach me. I'm afraid I'm a lost cause!!
Pete Seeger!! WOW!
He was to play in Boise, Idaho back in 70-71 as part of an anti-war rally. Our then Sheriff deemed him to be a communist and refused to let him play. There was a minor scuffle about that and two Active Duty Airmen were arrested for disturbing the peace at the place where Mr. Seeger was to play (they were supporting the rally). I only got a glimpse of him as he went back aboard the bus but was not a happy camper about our sheriffs arbitrary decision and not being able to see him perform.
