Hi Murray, hope you get some sun down there soon. That would be the club 47. Around the corner is the Nameless, not sure when it started but I can remember some time in the mid to late 60's. The Plough & Stars on Mass. Ave was another joint (not a coffeehouse but a bar). I remember Spider John Koerner (sp?) playing there often back then also had my first taste of Irish Trad there. The other side of the river (Boston) had a few places too. Peter Johnson was putting on a good number of traditional Irish/English/Scottish musicians & booking them any club, coffeehouse, bar or stage that he could, on both sides of the river back then. Barry
