last night was a little bitter-sweet for us - my father-in-law had been a part of the whole Greenwich Village folk scene, knew Woody, Pete Seegar, all those names, he'd regaled us with stories of those times, as a baby my wife had been followed by the FBI for possibly being a communist (he was incensed years later when he got his FBI report back characterising him as just a dilettante).
He passed away a couple of years ago, I think he'd have loved last night's concert - we really regret not having done some sort of oral history project to record his memories of those times.

Aah, very good, thanks Glenn. Apparently, his nickname comes not from all his travelling but instead the countless stories he relates before answering the simplest of questions - he's still alive (81) and no doubt still ramblin!

Half time mens toilets were at a premium - it was held in a girl's high school auditorium which is fair turnabout for a change I guess
It was the same in Auckland, those 50 year old bladders don't work like they used to....
