Subject: RE: Weavers on PBS From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Aug 17 - 01:01 AM Was it the 1980 Wasn't That a Time concert, the one that was made into a 1982 movie? -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Weavers on PBS From: GUEST,Guest Date: 13 Aug 17 - 01:21 AM No, It was later - The Weavers on this concert were, Fred H. Eric Darling, Pete and Ronnie, plus a bass player (Acoustic AND electric)who sure looked familiar. It was a concert at Carnegie Hall with Arlo (with Sara et all) and PP&M. I think they did say 2003. Great concert - PBS Fund raiser here in Wisconsin. |
Subject: RE: Weavers on PBS From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Aug 17 - 01:24 AM I emailed Mary Katherine. If anybody will know, she will. Look through YouTube and see if you can find a clip from it, so we'll all know we're talking about the same thing. I'm thinking Paul Prestopino may have played bass for the Weavers at that reunion, but that's just a guess. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Weavers on PBS From: GUEST,Guest Date: 13 Aug 17 - 01:28 AM Paul played guitar banjo and mandolin for PP&M on that concert but not the Weavers. |
Subject: RE: Weavers on PBS From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Aug 17 - 02:02 AM That video clip is great. Somebody ought to be able to recognize the bass player from that. And not that it answers the current question, here's a link to the All the 1951 videos. And you didn't even know that there were music videos before MTV. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Weavers on PBS From: EBarnacle Date: 13 Aug 17 - 09:56 AM Paul is still active, as are Noel Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow. They might also be able to help. |

Subject: RE: Weavers on PBS From: GUEST,Mary Katherine Date: 13 Aug 17 - 04:46 PM I asked Peter Yarrow, who says that it's Eric Weissberg. |
