Had the pleasure of meeting him at the Philadelphia folk festival in the late 80s really good people

I know what ya mean... I pull up these old videos of REK, Jerry Jeff, Peter Rowan, Nanci Griffith and all my other faves from my misspent 20's in the 80's... seems like just yesterday

[@curbshoppin]

@guyareynolds ....i agree ...ive seen REK live twice and the crowd sings louder than him on this song ...maybe because it was on tv they was subdued
