Thread Name: Fox Hollow Memories?
Subject: RE: Fox Hollow Memories?
Hi Sandy. Hi, George. This is like old home week. Did you ever drive over the Petersberg Pass into Williamstown? That drive and that town were so beautiful that I've been coming back almost every year since even though Fox Hollow is no more. Thelma Bolton was her name. Kenny Goldstien wanted to book her for the Philly Festival but I talked him out of it. She was a great storyteller but those Uncle Remus tales were so blatently racist that we would have had an uncomfortable confrontation if we had presented her. Do you guys remember Jean Ritchie's little dog? It was one of the ugliest, orneriest yappers I've ever met, but she loved it like a delinquent child. I think the best feature of the Beers Fest was that the evenung concerts were like teasers for the afternoon shows. Also, like everyone else, I had a crush on Martie Beers.
