Woodstock, CT Re: Master of the Sheepfold

First met Bill Bonyun on August 6, 1957 on the green at Old Sturbridge Village. (As with everyone else)we became immediate and good friends.

In September, 1959, late (very late) one night, Bill turned on his studio Ampex and recorded Master of the Sheepfold and Get Up Jack, John Sit Down and gave me the tape (which I played a number of times on my folk music radio show at Earlham College). I have the 7" real-to-real tape somewhere in the attic (must look for it) and hope it hasn't "overprinted" or deteriorated. When I find it, and if transcribable, will make both songs available.

The Service on the 16th was just right, thanks to everyone.

Tony- hope you got home safely!!
