Thread Name: 1965 Summer Hootenannies at Disneyland
Subject: RE: 1965 Summer Hootenannies at Disneyland
I don't remember how I got there but I remember playing at Disneyland about that time. I do remember that Dave Jackson was accompanying on bass. It prompted Rod McKuen to sneer at me saying I was just an "ethnic" because I sang and played tradition folk songs and was not a prolific songwriter like him. It was a strange time in the days of Van Ronk's "Folk Scare". I found myself playing banjo for an ad in the L.A. Times for the May Company surrounded by models.
I asked myself, how did I get here?
