...and the current issue of the superb American magazine of old-timey music, THE OLD TIME HERALD, has a feature article on DERROLL ADAMS by Gerard De Smaele, Patrick Ferryn and Tucker Zimmerman. Derroll Adams is arguably the one who brought the 5-string banjo to Belgium. Things are definitely coming "full circle" as stated eloquently in another article in that same issue. It is titled FULL CIRCLE--Snapshots Of The Early Days Of The Folk Revival.

One of these days I will obtain and learn to use a SLIDE SCANNER. Then you all will see some truly amazing photos I took all around this nation on the folk scene for 35 years. How about Bill Monroe and Ike Everly doing a duet at the U. Of Chicago Folk Festival--circa 1964. Rev. Gary Davis at Andy Cohen's apartment in Chicago about that same time. Bukka White playing his guitar behind his head at that same festival; and others of Bukka at the Old Town School. I only kept the GOOD ONES, and tossed out at least 10 for every one I kept. Anbd I still have four or five hundred.

Until then,
