...reasons for staying away. Perhaps he still harbors some feat of unknown promoters, preferring the calm efficiency of Bill Graham. But this gathering of over twenty groups of pluckers, singers, strummers, poets, grinners, mimes, pickers, jugglers, solo breakers, films, twangers, storytellers, dulcimer hammerers, balladeers, and at least one sidewalk artist (he draws on sidewalks) is being organized by the Winthrop House Folk and Jazz Society, whose recent spate of profitable concerts proves its competence and artistically populist nature.
