I had the pleasure and joy in 1988 to participate in a local musical dramatic production of "The Ballad of Silver John" we had great fun including a square dance, quilts and the tunes in the production. The script and direction were part of a college thesis, for which our director, I am certain, got a good grade!! The whole deal was on videos but never achieved final production. There was also a musician from Arizona, now deceased, R. I. P. Joe Bethancourt, who recorded a c. D. With many of the songs, Ugly Bird, etc. My copy was lost in the fire that took my home and all possessions. Oh I just noticed that Joe was mentioned above. I wish we had a recording of our play from Chico Calif.
