Hi Dick,

Very very very very far north of that area, so no worries :-) for me at least. I feel bad for the folks who are in the middle of it all.

I'll also be on KLCC Public Radio "The Saturday Cafe"hosted by Frank Gosar out of Eugene, OR on Oct. 27 at 11 AM Pacific Standard Time. You can listen online at KLCC.org.

For the complete schedule you can go to my website

As a UK citizen I have been lucky enough to visit Oregon (what a great state) and also met Deb C (I was the bookseller at the National, Deb).

They were made for each other. Go see - she is a great singer.

(P.S. visit the Rogue Brewery whist in the area!!)

I know who you are, Dave. :-) I will be back in the UK in March and April, maybe we'll run into each other.

And I know the area pretty well (Oregon, that is) as I am a former west coaster.

Glad you piped up there, Dave!

best,
Deb

Go see Deb if you can - she gives a great performance and is a lot of fun to boot. Not to be missed.

Deb,
Have a great gig. Know ya will.

After heading West from Chicago, in 1967 we opened our FOLK ART SHOP in Depoe Bay, Oregon. We were 10 or 15 years ahead of any real kind of folk scene there.

(I guess it's all in the timing! ;-)

So I headed back to Chicago, where being a folksinger was at least a possibility.
A question: Did I know you in Chi-town? I think I did!?!?

A tangled web we weave, for sure!!!

Hey Art,

At that point (and I'm showing my age here) I was in high school but I was trying to see as much of the folks scene as my tender young age would let me. Amazing Grace, Holstein's, Earl, Quiet Knight, I tried to be there.

I am sure I must have seen you perform at some point then, Art. But no, we never did meet. My loss.

And thanks for the encouraging words, Art. It means a lot.

Best,
Deb

If you're still here Deb....Need to know again to be sure....Do you need a direct box for your guitar? Frank of Toledo

Hey Frank,

Yeah, a Direct Box would be nice. I have a cord. Sorry about that.

Ah---good memories--from all those good clubs. I opened for Mimi Farina at Amazing Grace--when it was in that rather out-of-place wooden building in the middle of the Northwestern U. campus. What a charmer she was!

I was just a teenager and I tried to make myself look older to get into the clubs. But it seemed like the folks in charge of making sure that "us underage folks" weren't allowed in did a wee wink and nod for me. I never drank alchohol in those places, I just wanted to hear the music and that seemed to be understood.

We saw the Quatermas film "Five Million Years To Earth" in an old theater in Toledo, Oregon. It's still one of my favorite scary sci-fi movies.

That was the Ross Theater in "beautiful" downtown Toledo Art....It has been torn down and replaced by a "government" building....Progress   !!!!       Frank of Toledo
