Does anyone know anything about a summer camp called Woodlands in Saugerties, NY? In the bio of Moe Asch, it mentions that John Cohen of the NLCR was a music counselor there. I went there as a young kid, but don't remember much.

Joe Hickerson, recently retired from his position as head of the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress, could probably tell you a lot about it. He was there, too. Grant Rogers, "Catskill Mountain Songmaker," used to perform there. I made a record of his music in the early 60's. It's still available as a "custom cassette" on Folk-Legacy. We have three cassettes of Joe Hickerson, as well. Check out the Mudcat Shop.
