I'm thrilled to see net.wobegon turning into a folk music group. I think
that most of us who've read it for years (without knowing quite what to post)
all have a common interest in folk music.

Roseville Fair is on ``The Whistle of the Jay'', Folk-Legacy FSL-70, 1979.
You can probably order it from Roundup Records (a big New England
distributor and wholesaler affiliated with Rounder) if your local record
store doesn't have it.

A tremendously fine record. I've heard Bill several times at Passim in
Cambridge MA; he is a regular there. He's great. This record also features
Guy Van Duser, one of the all-time great folk guitarists. It also has some
world-class yodeling on it. Staines is a real champion yodeler in addition
to being a fine folksinger.

(yes, I often DO plan my trips from California to Boston around who will be
playing at Passim while I am there....)
