Sandy, I'll never forget about 30 people sleeping all over the furniture in a large room in that church in Hartford where the Folk Legacy Festival was held. A certain "neurotic, arrogant blind guy", who should have his own thread with that as the title (Tales of that blind, neurotic, arrogant blind guy) woke up early one morning in that room. Being blind, he didn't realize the room was filled with people. He stood up and removed all his clothing and started yelling about a wallet being stolen! Half the room woke up and stared unbelieving at him parading around nude and agitated. Several of us told him to SHUT UP AND GO BACK TO SLEEP !! We knew he'd pulled that "stolen wallet scam" at too many other festivals to take him seriously. Those other festivals had taken up a collection for him based on him being blind and broke. But we weren't gonna go for that one yet again! Later, I felt sorry for him and drove him into the large Eastern metropolis where he lived. All I can say is that being guided to that huge city by a blind man was an experience I'll NEVER FORGET!!!

We took Broadway ALL THE WAY FROM HARTFORD!!!!!

Ah, nostalgia!?! Tales on the road as a folksinger?!? (There's a whole other thread!)
