Subject: Hootenannys, history and such
Hi all,

I'm out here in S.F. and am putting together a monthly Hootenanny and would appreciate some guidance, suggestions, websites, memories, or any 'ol thing on the subject of hoots.

I know they were popular during the folk revival and that there was a t.v. show called "Hootenanny." How far back do they go? Where did they start? Is there any particular format that's followed? I'm especially interested in any collections of posters or promotional materials re hootenannys.

Thanks in advance!
