[HANASHIR:14607] Re: 60s Folk Music (and 50's too)

[Marsha Fensin <mfsings...>]

    As long as we are reminiscing I have to share as well.  I have 
always carried around the reputation ( and I wear it proudly) of being a 
"folkie from the 60's."  How proud I was when I was able to learn the 
finger picking for Puff the Magic Dragon. One of my biggest thrills in 
the mid 80's at a rally for Soviet Jewry in Milwaukee, was being Peter 
Yarrow's opening act with my friend Karen Berman. Of course we got to 
meet him, talk with him, compare guitars, repertory.  Needless to say I 
was in heaven. He praised my Gibson F25 and I kidded him about the state 
of his patched up guitar case and all his travel labels.  He autographed 
one of my old PP and M albums--yes, the kind you could hug. What a nice 
memory! And oh yes, I have the Joan Baez albums and remember Ian and 
Sylvia as well.
    I will add my words to the folks at the Milken archives.
Marsha
