Peter Yarrow and Debbie Friedman

[robert wiener <wiener...>]

Robert,

They performed together in Debbie's winter concert a couple of years
ago.  I don't believe that it was released on record.  I'd have to
check my program, but I believe that he was an unannounced guest and
that they sang "Light One Candle."  It was not a high point of the
program for me, but that was largely because of how I feel about the
song.

Bob
