Early Bob Gibson was deeply rooted in the tradition. His arrangements (chord changes) showed up in MANY other folk scare set lists. Some even paid Bob for those. The Limelighters did a huge batch of 'em----as did the Chad Michell 3 especially when Jim Roger McGuinn was their intrumental backup.

FOLK ERA RECORDS (check out their site) has issued a ton of the old Folk Scare K.T. stuff----and the new stuff too by John Stewart, Eric Darling etc. etc. etc. Critic's Choice CD catalogue has good collections too.-----------One o' these days some retro company might even buy up and put out my LPs on a compilation CD or two. (**BG**)

Out of Chicago, right now---as we speak----there is a fine group called WEAVERMANIA. Michael Smith does Lee Hays' bass parts, Mark Dvorak does Pete Seeger's role on banjo, Michael's wife Barbara Barrow does Ronnie Gilbert's parts and Tom Dundee does Fred Hellerman's guitar work and singing parts. Recently Pete Seeger joined them in their concert at the Chicago Historical Society and radio station WFMT-FM broadcast it live. I just sent a copy of the part of that concert I managed to tape record to Roy Harris in Cardiff---U.K. (Roy is Burl here at Mudcat.) Whoops, maybe I shouldn't've let that out. Just consider it a verbal cyber-fart.-------------Roy is a great fan of the "good aspects" of the American revival in those years-----as am I a huge fan of those Ewan and Bert Lloyd and Isla Cameron and Peggy Seeger and Roy Harris and Lou Killen and Jeanie Robertson incandescent years. Some of us folkies did o.k. stuff me thinks. And it WILL get noticed down the line somewhere. What goes around, comes around ! As with CDs, history repeats, but it costs twice as much every time around----or so it seems.
