Anyone familiar with "The Francis Book"?
(About St. Francis, it has a small section by Arlo in it.)

I don't think Arlo visits here very often. I never "see" him around these days.

Also spotted (how can you miss him?) was Arlo Guthrie, whose father Woody was given a lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy last night at the Nominees Reception held at the Museum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles.

'A glimpse of the musical tastes of Bush, Gore, and other candidates'
...
RALPH NADER
...
He’s an acoustic guitar fan, too, as suggested by the presence on his list of blues legend Leadbelly. Baez would play his inauguration, NADER says, and R.E.M. and Dylan would get an invite, too.

Clint Black?
"No. What’s his name. You know. I associate him with ‘Alice’s Restaurant'."
Arlo Guthrie?
“Yes, him.”

A 1967 article about Derroll Adams (see Cheryl's earlier post regarding Arlo's post) is reprinted in the April 2000 issue of Folk Roots magazine.

Found the website for the Spring Gulch Festival in New Holland, PA Arlo's gonna be at.
http://www.springgulch.com/folk/index.html

This is only an hr according to their site from Delaware where went to see Arlo & vist Mikes couins friend Paula up there. So this would probably be doable for us but we can't cuz we're planning our 2 weeks vacaion around seeing Arlo at the HOOKAHVILLE FEST in Ohio. So it's one or the other...

In the early days of Graffiti, when it was still a little rough around the edges,
the roof used to leak. Like, really leak. The inventive Arlo Guthrie solved the
problem by sending his manager out for his big cowboy hat. When the
white-robed African poet Mutabaruka played, promoter Pat McArdle recalls
"a big storm came over and the water started coming from the roof. People
were so entranced by him they thought it was part of the show, that he made
it rain or something. It was so amazing."

Did Grafitti in Pittsburg close? That was the first place I saw Arlo play.
(Sorry, this isn't a spotting, just felt compelled to reply to your post)

Um, what year... could it be six years ago? I think I was 24 at the time. I'm 30 now. I remember it like it was... about six years ago, actually.

I signed up to have AOL send me any news bulletins on Arlo in the e-mail. I'd read on the folk music newsgroup of Ed McCurdys Death. AOL News just sent me this obituary of him:


Ed McCurdy

NEW YORK (AP) - Ed McCurdy, a leading 1950s folk music figure whose songs were recorded by Johnny Cash, Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez, died March 23 in Halifax, Novia Scotia. He was 81.

McCurdy left his home in Willow Hill, Pa., for New York and a singing career at age 18. After a failed bid at becoming a Frank Sinatra-style nightclub singer, McCurdy turned to folk music during the 1940s.

In 1950, he headlined a series of shows at New York's Village Vanguard and released his first album, ``Ed McCurdy Sings Songs of the Canadian Maritimes.'' He later signed a deal with Elektra Records, where he collaborated with another influential folk singer, Ramblin' Jack Elliott.

Eventually, his songs were recorded by a variety of artists that included Cash, Guthrie, Baez, Pete Seeger, and Simon and Garfunkel.

After his music career waned, McCurdy moved to Nova Scotia in 1984 and became a character actor on Canadian television dramas.
