Sing Out! is still being published as a quarterly magazine. They no longer include the soundsheets but if you subscribe at the member level, you'll be sent a CD with all the music in each issue. If you subscribe at a lower level, you can buy the CD if you want one. I figure everyone ought to subscribe if only to keep Sing Out! going. “You never miss your water till your well runs dry.”

As for Rick's quiz, I'm afraid my archives are too sparse to tackle such seriously arcane—but highly intriguing—questions. Like Nancy, I'd love to see the answers. I think I remember an article about the OTSFM in which Frank Hamilton is shown playing a long-necked five-string banjo but I couldn't tell you which issue contained the article—assuming the article I think I remember was in Sing Out!

Art, you stumped me with the watermelon. I think there may have been some parties I don't exactly remember. <g> We had a place on the lake right at Howard street back in those days and I've lost track of most of what happened there. Is there anyone else in the picture you recognize? For instance, Fred Holstein or Chuck Ray? I also don't remember very much about a great party up in Zion State Park in the early seventies.
