Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:11pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

@derekpiotr: Thanks! I didn't know Albert was part of this song's traditions. At my alma mater, Marlboro College (RIP), the president at the time, Rod Gander, used to sing "Frankie and Johnny" every semester at our Cabaret event. And boy could he belt it out!

Fun fact: shortly after this recording, Neversink was subsumed by the Neversink Reservoir and relocated.

Is anyone writing songs about Hurricane Sandy - or Maria - or Ian?
Avatar 7:22pm

Neversink is such a great place name. I am fascinated by all of Halpert's Mid-Atlantic recordings.

There's a nice documentary on the towns that were where the NYC water supplying reservoirs are now. vimeo.com...

@WHHenry: There's also a nice article in HellGateNYC about a new book Lucy Sante is publishing about that same reservoir. Here's the link: hellgatenyc.com...

Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:50pm
alanSixº:

derek, i wonder if you'd be able to get in touch with tom brown junior - he's the guy who wrote the book the tracker - he knew the pines before the parkway developed - he'd have some leads

@dale: are the foxfire books under the Whole Earth Catalog?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:51pm
Handy Haversack:

My guess is that if Alan can't help you find something in New Jersey, it might not exist. Even then, I'd give him a puncher's chance!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:52pm

south jersey is a different country handy!

I have a knack for finding things that shouldn't exist so i'll probably visit regardless ha ha ha
