Banjer:

This year marks the third annual Gamble Rogers Folk Festival in St. Augustine. Sort of a resurrection of the old St. Augustine Folk Festival, but better. Arlo Guthrie will be among the headliners this year.

Just about all of Gamble's recordings have been remastered and released on CD (Oklawaha Records). They are available from the Friends of Florida Folk booth at the festival. Mail order may be an option. FOFF has a web site at www.foff.org. Also may be available through some of the internet stores like Eldery.

You're right about his wit and humor. I have my copy of Oklawaha County Laissez-Faire in hand...recorded live in Charleston in 1988. Incredible talent. Incredible loss.
