The Braid was a group of singer/songwriters that played the Village Vanguard, Gerdes, Cafe Wha, Town Hall, Fat Black Pussycat, Carnegie Recital Hall, Kenny's Castaways (it's original uptown location),the Metro Club and a little joint called Steak n' Stein on th ecprner of 4th and Thompson, I think. Plus, any club that hire a group that played acoustic originals. We also toured the country as part of College Coffee House Circuit. We lasted from 1968 to 1977, recorded for ABC/Dunhill but that was about it. The Braid ultimately morphed into a rock group named "Cocky", played a few shows and then disbanded.
Our songs were written individually and a collectively and performed with three part harmony, two Martins and electric bass. We played on the same bill with some of the greats of our time....Tim Hardin, Ry Cooder, David Bromberg, Larry Coryell, David Allen Coe, Harry Chapin to name a few....Thanks for the chance to place the Braid on the list.

Hi Marcia,
In an earlier posting you mentioned Erik Darling...He was a master guiatarist and teacher, as well. I was a student of his when he lived on the upper west side. He taught me how to fingerpick. I still use the patterns he showed me. He was a gentleman and one of the greats.

I was working for an insurance company in the 60's and couldn't wait to come home, take off that blasted tie and coat and hang out with my friends at the Bistro in mid-town Atlanta over a couple of PBR's. While Ray Whitley was my favorite, Jeff Espina, Talisman and the Wayfarers were fantastic talents. I recently helped start a site to commemorate the club if you want to remember some of the folks that played there. It is www.bistroatlanta.com Check it out.

re: Cyrus Faryar....Yes, he was in The Whiskeyhill Singers with Dave Guard, Buck Wheat and Judy Henske when they made their one album on Capitol (and what a wonderfully strange album it is). Liz Seneff then replaced Judy. Cyrus had a couple of solo albums (which have been reissued by Collectors' Choice), and played with the Modern Folk Quartet/Modern Folk Quintet/MFQ for decades. They may still be together, as they were big in Japan and Hawaii.

When I was in the Navy in San Diego, Ken Connors and I would play the local coffee houses and pick up spare change by playing along the Mission Beach seawall. Ken played a mean mandolin and I played guitar, banjo and autoharp. We would go to the "Blue Guitar" on Thursday nights for their gathering. Mason Williams was in the Navy then, and he would play guitar and banjo, and a cute girl would play dulcimer. great music at the Blue Guitar. There was a coffee house in Mission Beach called "The End", very typical but nice for the Mission Beach locals (I had an apt. in Mission Beach).

    If anyone knows if Ken Connors (Dan The Grub) is still around, I would like to contact him.

    I played a lot after the Navy, Sacramento, Berkeley, Santa Rosa and San Francisco to some success but never anything big time. Ran around with Mark Spolestra for some time and learned a lot from him. Sadly, he passed away about two years ago. A stroke in 1999 has me laid up and not playing any more (lost my left side control), I listen a lot but I sure miss playing my instruments. My son has picked them up and plays very well. He has a Martin Woody Guthrie 00018 (1 of 200 made),

Yeah, I knew Billy Roberts. He was hanging out in the Seattle area during the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. He sang a bit at the "92 Yesler" coffeehouse, as I recall.

I met Rolf Cahn in Berkeley in 1959. Had some good song-swapping sessions with him. 12-string guitar? I don't know about that. He wasn't playing one when I knew him. He played a steel-string (6-string) guitar, and he also played a very fine Rodrigues flamenco guitar.

Terry Wadsworth, I knew quite well. I think he was originally from Tacoma, Washington, but he lived in Seattle for several years in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Sang in coffeehouses quite a bit. Randy Sparks drifted through town looking to recruit a new singer or two for the New Christy Minstrels, heard Terry, and hired him. He sang with the NCM for about a year, then had a disagreement with Sparks and quit. Came back to Seattle for a visit, then moved on. I haven't seen him or heard anything about him since.

This is to Peace (Bruce). Doing the nostalgia thing and found this thread. You might remember me, was a friend of Nancy's in the late 60's, hung out at your place. Remember you telling us of this great new song and pulling out your guitar and singing "in my mind I'm going to Carolina...." I was Carolyn Edwards, now married and living in Ohio. Just found a couple of other old friends through the internet. How is Nancy doing?

Ric Von Schmidt had a farm in Henniker, NH in the 70s. I found out about that after Ric had lost the ability due to talk due to his cancer operation. (I did ask Jim Rooney about the farm, but he didn't remember -- thought it might have been for Ric's daughter, bought with money from the Dylan/Baez posters on which he was receiving royalties.)

Does anyone know about this farm? Is it still in the family? Can anyone fill me in on the circumstances under which it was bought?

Peace,

B.B.

WOW! I am Tom Meisenheimer's daughter and was looking around the internet for obscure folk singer info and found this thread (gotta love technology!). To respond to "Fastblind" (though that post was a while ago) my dad is still playing music, though in New Haven, MO. Herb is still in Yountville, doing ok, just got a call from him today as a matter of fact (hence the search for my childhood on the internet).

It was always a treat to have my dad, Herb, Mick (Milton) and lord knows who else in our living room, teaching us the music, playing REAL music. And I even remember being about 4 years old and dancing impromptu Irish jigs at the Folk Music Club in San Francisco. I was lucky enough to be able to bring my daughter (when she was about 7) up to Mike Heintz's property and listen to Herb, Mike and my dad throw down a great old session of good music.

Thanks for having this thread, it was a nice bit of nostalgia.

Joseph de Culver City,

Hi! From me, originally from a stones throw from Culver...up over the hill, near the big 'L'

Two that come to mind..I mixed sound for Barry McGuire, in Santa Fe,N.M.,in the late eighties. By that time he had stopped his drinking, and he was just great, and spiritually hot! He introduced 'Eve of Destruction' as the first 'protest' song of the sixties..and it was still true to tat day! He personally sought me out, after the show, and thanked me for the best mixing he had performing live!

Also, there are some works from Judy Collins, album, 'Fires of Eden'..one in particular is called 'The Blizzard', and in my opinion, the best Judy ever wrote, and performed. It took her three years to write it!..All those who live in Colorado, should definitely hear it!! I vote it become the state song! Truly, her masterpiece!!

Met and knew a few more, but I thought those may be of interest!

When people hear the name Randy Sparks, the first thing that comes to mind is The New Christy Minstrels. When I first met him, around 1959, he was doing a solo act as a folk singer/balladeer.

Another from my old area, Fresno, CA, was the late George Cromarty who, along with his partner, Ed Rush, performed as The Goldcoast Singers. They were the original composers of "Plastic Jesus." I believe they only made one album.

Two local Fresno State college professors, Peter Everwine and the late Gene Bluestein, were fine performers and noted folk historians. Gene's son, Emo, still performs in the area. Peter has become better known for his award-winning poetry.

Molly Meisenheimer,

I knew your dad back in the 1960s in Chicago. Fond memories of his banjo picking reside here with me---and of the small folk club on Sedgwick Street called the "Erectheon" after it's original name was deemed too stiff -- if ya know what I mean!?

To all who were there then:

Where are Roger Luzwick and Mike Slosson from those Erectheon days now? Anyone know??    And Bobby Brundage---daughter of Slim Brundage who ran the College Of Complexes beat forum and hangout on North State St. in Chicago -- early '60s?

I notice that Bill Collins, above, mentions Pat Paulsen in a list of names. In the "small world" category, I once marketed wine for Pat and for Dick Smothers, neither of whom would lay claim to being folk musicians without sporting a big grin. I visited Pat at his winery in Asti, Sonoma County, a few years before his death. His guest house living room was a repository of 1968 campaign memorabilia left over from his "Vote or Get Off the Pot" effort. I still have a mailing tube full of it. His family recently rekindled his old Presidential campaign on line. He was running on the "Posthumous Ticket." He once remarked to me that politicians should follow the first point of the Hippocratic Oath: "First, do no harm."

Vince Martin and Fred Neil sang together in Miami and released at least one record. They coud spend 20 minutes trying to tune those two 12 strings. Ron Kickasola was around then, and I bought his guitar with my first check from my first checking account! Still have it, too. He told me he bought it from Joni Mitchell. No way to verify it, but it's a great thought - and story.

Bruce Farwell, Thank you for mentioning me. Since discovering my name on this thread I feel I must put my three cents in. I definately was a little known folk singer. I first came to Greenwich Viliage in New York in 1963 as a 19 year old wet behind the ears kid. I started playing at the basket houses along with Steven Stills, Peter Tork, Filix Pappalardi, Casy Anderson, Eric Anderson, Major Wiley and many of the others from the New York scene who have already been mentioned. I went from being a little known singer to a somewhat more well known sideman guitarist for several well known acts of that era. Monte Dunn, who was mentioned earlier, and I shared a garden apartment for a year or so around 1964/65. He eventually went to Canada to play guitar for Ian and Sylvia and I never saw him again. I was playing with a band called The Pheonix Singers. Three gay black refugees from the former Harry Belafonte singers. Later I played with Bob Gibson who at the time was a very well known folk singer and my early folk idol. Bob Gibson and I were both busted in Toronto Canada in 1965 for drugs. Paul Stukey of Peter, Paul and Mary fronted me 20,000 dollars to bail my young butt out of jail. 20,000 dollars in 1965 was a veritable fortune. I might still be there in jail today if it wasn't for him. Later around 1968 I moved to LA where I became the guitarist for Hoyt Axten who also was very established as a folk singer, song writer and crazed alcholic. Many the night we had to carry all 220 Ripple soaked pounds of him out of the club and dump him into the van. No easy task. At some point he fired me and I left the folk music world to join the world of rock and roll playing in a few California bands of some fame at the time. In 1979 I left the U.S. with another musician friend to seek our fortune in Europe just to see what it was all about. He was called Professor Washboard and I became Dr. Harmonica and Dr. Harmonica I am today. I still live in Europe and perform regularly though now I am known as a blues man. Many of the people mentioned here were folks I knew, drank with, played with and got high with. A few I made love to (females) but that was all long ago and far away.If anybody reads this and wants to contact me and talk about the good old days when we were young I'm at [e-mail]

Definetly remember Casey Anderson. My partner and I were playing the Flick and so was Elizabeth (Corrigan) and George Blackwell. Casey was playing the Gaslight South and came over after his gig was done. He jammed with George and sang with Liz. It was a blues and he and Liz sounded terrific together. I think it was the first time they met. Anyway, I remember he was talking about a movie script he was writing about a little known military calvery made up of black horse riders. That's about all I can recall.

I recall Casey Anderson on an early CBS television show called FOLKSOUND USA. Amazingly, also on that show were:

Cisco Houston--narrator (he sang "Hard Traveling")
Joan Baez
Flatt and Scruggs

John Jacob Niles
John Lee Hooker--he sang his "Hobo Blues"--a great song.
Frank Warner did Joe Henry Johnson's "Peanut Vender's Cry" from Suffolk, Virginia
...and a few other I can't recall

Also a choral group who did a not very good, I thought, musical arrangement of a Walt Whitman poem---"I Hear America Singing"

At the time it was on the air, 1959 or '60, I taped this program on my old Webcor reel-to-reel machine by holding a small hand mike up to the TV speaker.

They only recordings from this show that have survived until 2008 are the two songs by Cisco Houston and his spoken intros. The man did have a great speaking voice. Singing too, of course. It has always seemed pretty much apparent to me that when Cisco sang with Woody Guthrie he was using a voice that was more plain than his usual fuller timbered vocal capabilities -- in order to blend better with Woody.

Art: I, too, remember "Folksound USA." Peter Yarrow sang "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" long before he was part of some folk trio I dimly recall. And Mildred Bailey sang "Hello, Little Boy" and Lightning Hopkins was on it too. I recorded it on my reel-to-reel Bell recorder but I don't know where the tape is--probably in a box in my basement.

Bobad sez:"How the heck did you do that?"
Ya gotta have a really good text editor that facilitates search and replace operations using grep pattern matching.
Essentially, the process was:

1. find all sequences of two or more capitalized words
   
2. list these sequences, discarding all the other text
   
3. sort the list and eliminate duplicates
   
4. manually delete each item that doesn't look like a name
   
5. arrange each name into [lastname, othernames] format
   
6. sort by lastname
   
7. rearrange names back to original format

Everything but step 4. is readily done by search and replace operations

You lost me at "grep pattern matching" but, allow me to reiterate, well done.

Will this thread ever reach 1,000 posts? At one time I would have said no way, but now it looks like a slam dunk. So let me help the process along by adding the name Jackie Gibson Alper, who was just Jackie Gibson until she married Joe Alper. She passed away in 2007. Here's a link to her Mudcat obit thread.

Also, the latest compilation has some obvious duplications. Hally Woody and Hally Stephenson Wood are one and the same. So are Townes Van Zandt and Towndes Van Zant, as are Howard Stith and Poor Howard Stith. There are others that are not so obvious. For example, Irene of Tony & Irene Saletan is the same person as Irene Kossoy of the Kossoy Sisters (who appear as a group twice, once under K and once under S).

Well, thank goodness there are eagle-eyed 'Catters to catch these unwanted duplications. eh?
'Course, including "Jackie Gibson Alper" with "Jackie Gibson" is kinda like having both "Hally Wood" and "Hally Stephenson Wood"
but I'm just sayin', to help the process along.

Mea culpa! I made the same error myself that I pointed out. I don't know how I missed Jackie Gibson's name, but I did. Oh, well, just let me say that I'm glad to see she had already been mentioned, and that it's worth pointing out that she used the last name Alper from the time of her marriage until she passed away.

Onward to 1,000!

That list is amazing and it's great to have, makes things SO much easier. Thank you for all the hard work.

Of course, all we need to have now is links to any artists on that list who have web sites. LOL - I can hear BK groaning from here. :0)

Hey, has anyone noticed that Bruce Murdoch has come up as the US/Canada emergency number - 911 - which, with him being a volunteer firefighter, alongside being a great musician, has to be kinda fitting.

Yes, I knew the Dirty Shames. I was good friends with Amos Garrett and he and his brother Paul taught me how to fly-fish on long island sound when Paul came down to NYC from Toronto to visit in 1967. Carol I met in 1962 through an ad-guy friend of Ian Tyson's name Ed "Yugi" Cowan, when Cowan hosted Peter, Paul and Mary at an after-concert party at his place. Carol Robertson was also the Wayne and Schuster commedienne who was famous for the "Julie, don't go" line in their skit of Julius Caesar. Jim I knew as a great friend of Patty McLauchlan (and who was solely responsible for my going into Chinese language studies at U of T), and I knew Chick Roberts, who was a very sweet guy. I did a story on the Dirty Shames in 1966 -- a story that also featured the Buffalo Spingfield and some other "new" Canadian bands -- that ran in 1967 under the byline (stolen!) of then-entertainment-editor Ralph Thomas in the Toronto Star. I've meant to pull my story out of the Star's archives for years. Anyone who finds it, please send it to me at [e-mail], K? At least the Star paid my phone bills for the story! And the biggest thrill aspect of researchng and writing it was getting to talk at length to my long-time print-hero, Scott Young, who was Neil's dad. I saw Scott in 1987 when he was on a book tour to promote his book about Neil AND HE REMEMBERED ME. Apparently, he had asked me "is my boy going to make it?" and I had said: "Oh yes! He's going to be a STAR!" And Mr Y never forgot it! The end.

PS I was the editor of Toronto's "HOOT" magazine 1966-1968 and as such remember a few names and faces of the '60s folk scene. Send notes to [e-mail] and I'll send any info I still have. Also, I'm still in touch with the former Lucy Brown (Karwoski) with whom I worked for show business manager Herbert S. Gart in New York. He managed some Canadian acts. And I was friendly with Mary Martin -- who in 1967 had just quit working for Albert Grossman to go out on her own -- she represented (among other acts) Leonard Cohen and other folk acts out of Canada and Toronto. Please put "Toronto Folk" into your subject line, so I won't discard messages.

By the way, if the John Timmons on one of the big, sort of all-inclusive lists wa-a-a-a-a-ay up above is the same John Timmons I know, he wasn't a singer. He was the owner and operator of "Pamir House," a coffeehouse on University Way in Seattle, one door up from the northwest corner of University Way N. E. and N. E. 41st Street.

He employed a lot of folk singers, and it was a good place to sing. He usually had two or three, sometimes four singers up front at any given time. There was hardly any point in planning sets. We just sort of "winged it," swapping songs, comments, jokes, and more songs. It was like a party, and the audiences loved it. A fun place to sing. And John paid us!

Lot's of fledgeling singers got their start there.
