I started my folk career in Wichita, Kansas in about 1961-2, and largely avoided the 'pop folk' of those days...(due to one or two people who knew about 'trad')...moved to Washington DC area in 1977 and immersed myself in the FSGW (http://www.fsgw.org/) I am now in Maryland, north of Washington DC. I started playing recorder to avoid singing, but soon took up Autoharp, and a little bit of dulcimer and decided to sing anyway.. :-)) I will never be classed as a serious musician, but I love the company and the people.

(Roger...that WAS Ferrara playing "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" on a Zither at the Getaway gospel songs..she is my wife..)

Jon Bartlett..saw you about 1977 or so at the National Folk Festival near DC ..you did a wonderful parody of "Wraggle Taggle Gypsies" called "The Hippies & the Beatniks-O"... and other great songs...plus an impropteau version of "Thais" with Jon Eberhart under the stands...stopping Helen Schneyer in her tracks!!...It's neat to see you amoung us here at the 'Cat..
