WAMC Night at the Mahaiwe
This past Saturday night, I had the pleasure of being part of a benefit for WAMC public radio. I played guitar and sang harmonies to Wanda Fischer’s fine versions of Woody Guthrie’s ‘Pastures of Plenty’ and Tom Paxton’s ‘Life’. We were both surprised and thrilled when, during soundcheck, John Sebastian and Artie Traum agreed to play with us. I admit I was a little nervous stepping out on stage, but managed not to throw any wrong notes in the company of a Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
The crew from WAMC were great fun to spend an afternoon with, and Mike Merenda and Ruth Unger from The Mammals stopped by to back up their friend Dory Previn on a few songs. The picture shows John Sebastian and Happy Traum during soundcheck.
