...and many more! Frank, I may be too old to still have mentors, but, for sure, you are, and have been, for many years, one of those for me.

Happy bidet!! (B-day) I'd say "That Depends"---but I hope it doesn't!

With thanks and appreciation!!!

Happy Birthday!

Frank Hamilton

was born

8/3/1934

So many credits and nice feller as well...

Picker, graduate of Fairfax High School, co-founder and first instructor of the Old Town School of Folk Music, Erstwhile "Weaver," "Dusty Road Boy" and "Sierra Folk Singer" - now teaching & writing in Atlanta & concerting everywhere. Playing swing jazz too. I found a number of records (especially Folkways) and also one publication: Lecture on Phrenology delivered before the "Rochester Athenaeum" on Feb. 9th, 1841. (There's a chance this last was a different Frank Hamilton, however.)

Nice piece on him at allmusic.com
