Thread Name: Origin: Lambton Worm
Subject: RE: Origin: Lambton Worm
On a visit to San Francisco in late October 2001, the folk club in Haight Ashbury had a theme night on the supernatural. I had no idea what to do to conform- not my scene really.
the club was in the 'alternative' area of SF, in the wonderful Faith Petric's big old house & once through the door, you turned left for the folk club, and turn right for a soup kitchen, run by Faith for local down & outs....
Anyway I settled on the 'Lambton Worm' which was greeted by a stunned silence, delayed applause & a moment I'll always treasure- a squatting ponytailed hippy took his reefer out of his mouth, smiled and said

' Cool, man'
