Artists from all over the world have recorded his songs, including Judy Collins, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Johnny Cash. At this performance, Eric will be accompanied by Michele Gazich on violin and viola and by Inge Andersen on harmonies. Special guests with Eric are The Chapin Sisters.

On Friday, October 2, Marilyn & Steve Suffet were studio guests on the Thank Folk It's Friday program on Celtic Music Radio, FM 95 in Glasgow, Scotland. They spent two hours chatting with host Ross Macfadyen between song selections, and Steve even had the opportunity to perform two of his own songs live on-the-air. The show has been archived and can be heard online in two one-hour segments on the Celtic Music Radio website: www.celticmusicradio.net Mark Hamburgh writes, “Our son, Jeremy and his wife, Lisa had their baby girl on Saturday [Sept. 19th]. She is a cute little thing. They named her Charlotte. So, now Rita and I are in the unfamiliar but exciting role of grandparents.” Congratulations on this joyous event. Welcome to the world, Charlotte. Songs by Toby Fagenson (“Sunshine True Love”) and Jane Babits (“Whirling”) have been published in the Ethical Culture Songbook. Ann Green, who continues to take classes at JASA, is taking a course in Shakespeare. They are reading Richard III. On October 17th, a moving memorial service was held for Jerry Epstein at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Jackson Heights. It was followed by a potluck lunch and additional tribute to Jerry in words, music and dance. Musician, scholar, teacher, friend—we mourn his passing.

Folk City: New York and the Folk Music Revival Now through January 10, 2016 at the Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Ave at 103rd St. This is a celebration of the City's role as the center of the folk music revival from its beginnings in the 1930s, to its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as its continuing legacy. There are some amazing objects - Leadbelly's 12-string guitar, original Dylan handwritten (badly!) lyrics, record sleeves, songbooks, and more. Photos (everyone looks so young), sound stations where you can hear some field recordings and revivalists, a great montage of singers from each decade singing three songs, "Irene, Goodnight," "Midnight Special," and "If I Had a Hammer." Brilliant! Fittingly, the predominant colors are red and black. There is a new book: Folk City: New York and the American Folk Music Revival, by Stephen Petrus and Ronald D. Cohen, published by Oxford University Press, which details not only the artists but also the infrastructure of music publishers, record companies, venues, and radio shows, etc. .
The Folk Music Society’s web page: www.folkmusicny.org - 7 - Brown Jug Award Drew Smith won the annual Brown Jug Award at the Park Slope Bluegrass and Old Time Jamboree. Drew Smith is probably one of the best known autoharpists in the nation as well as “across the pond”. In the 40 plus years that he has been playing the autoharp, Drew has won championship after championship across the US and was inducted into the Autoharp Hall of Fame in 2002. In 2011, he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the California Autoharp Gathering. Drew has developed a unique thumb lead style of playing that allows him to capture melody notes of fast fiddle tunes on his autoharp. He loves to play the chromatic autoharp, because it gives him the needed notes and chords to be able to play a wider selection of music than a diatonic harp. Drew first picked up the autoharp in 1967 after being influenced by Grand Masters Kilby Snow and Mike Seeger. He reminisced about his first encounter with the auto- harp, “At first it was just plain confusing. Then after one lesson, I figured it out. The rest is all self taught.” ! But why the autoharp instead of any of the other, more popular instruments? He says it’s because he can express himself better and play more kinds of music on the autoharp than any of the other instruments. Once he figured out how to play melody notes, he could jam with anyone! Drew has recorded three CDs: Now That’s Autoharp!, The Art of the Autoharp and Having a Ball with the Triple Play All-Stars. We at the Folk Music Society of NY, Inc. are proud of Drew, who has been a member for years, and we are proud to co-sponsor the Park Slope Bluegrass and Old Time Jamboree.

I was also inspired to write this because I was disappointed about the exclusion of Davis from the “Folk City” exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York. (more about this later). I’ve recently read a book called “Say No To The Devil”, a biography of the great Reverend Gary Davis by Ian Zack, published by the University of Chicago Press. Davis was a uniquely gifted musician, singer, songwriter and a pillar of the folk revival of the ‘50’s and early ‘60’s, which Dave Van Ronk called “The Great Folk Scare”. Rev. Davis was a representative of African-American traditions of the rural South, especially those of the Piedmont region of his native South Carolina. Though he rarely played in standard blues form, Davis was a brilliant guitarist and an influence on Blind Boy Fuller and other Carolina blues musicians. His religious songs, sung in a raspy, impassioned voice, were brilliantly accompanied by his complex guitar style. A versatile musician, Davis was able to play a variety of pieces, including marches and full-blown piano rags on the guitar he called “Miss Gibson”. Davis’s influence on the folk music scene of the ‘50’s and ‘60’s is immeasurable. Aside from the huge influence he had on Dave Van Ronk, who was an important influence on Bob Dylan, Davis taught hundreds of students, many of whom went on to fame and fortune: Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna and Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead to name but a few. Zack’s book is a well- written and well-rounded picture of a complex individual which neither tires the reader with gushing praise, nor does it gloat over Davis’s flaws and contradictions. “Say No To The Devil” provides insight into the life and times of a major creative force. (For additional reading on Reverend Davis, I recommend “Red River Blues” by Bruce Bastin, University of Illinois Press, and the reminiscences by Dave Van Ronk in “The Mayor of MacDougal Street”). Having said all that, I must express my disappointment that the exhibit at the Museum Of The City Of New York called “Folk City” includes no mention of Davis; no picture, no text, no audio recording, and no video footage. While the exhibit is interesting and well organized, they missed a real opportunity to give a complete picture of the folk movement during that era by excluding any reference to Reverend Gary Davis who is such a major figure. I am grateful that “Say No To The Devil” is available. More could and should be written on the subject.
