Hi. I was so lucky to have attended John Flynn's show last night in Merion, PA (just across the road from Philly). Ran into Dan and Donna there! Turns out that they've been friends of John's for a very long time, and it's all Arlo's fault.

There was a silent auction last night to raise money for Camp Dreamcatcher. One of the items up for bid is the CONO Tour Badge, signed by Arlo, Ramblin' Jack, John Flynn and Willie Nelson.

Here is the eBay description from John's newsletter:

Special Auction Item
John Flynn's "City of New Orleans" Tour Badge, Autographed by Arlo Guthrie, Ramblin Jack Elliott & Willie Nelson. Folk Music Treasure!!! This was a tour organized by Arlo and the people at Rising Son Records to benefit and bring the music back to New Orleans. A once in a lifetime event.

The proceeds from this auction will go to Camp Dreamcatcher, a summer camp for kids infected or affected by HIV, AIDS.

Hey Terrie nice to see you and the family at John's show. And thanks for posting this on the boards. It's a good thing for a good cause. Dan

Not much to add, but I think it's a really cool auction for the charity. I hope the lucky bidder takes good care of it

Well the bid is up to 102.50 and there are several folks watching and waiting for the last day of bidding.
