Thread Name: Favourite folksinger stories
Subject: RE: Favourite folksinger stories
Overheard at Pinewoods camp, 27 July 1989 (since I may have misidentified the performer, I have deleted his name):

Pleasant story by --- (I think it was), who is an atheistic Jew: An old and dear friend of his, who had had cancer for 10 years, called him up to say he was dying at last. It was all right, he said, he had seen God today. Then, after a short silence: "Don't worry, it wasn't Jesus." He died the next day.
