Peter (who wishes he could take the credit, but who learned it from the Old Town School Of Folk Music's late legendary repair luthier John Calhoun)
Peter - Are you in Chicago, then? I know the Old Town School of Folk Music... it's close-by to me!
Once upon a time;'79 to '81 I was in & out of Waukegan, a brief stint in Evanston, then on to Chicago (Lakeview) until '83, when I got married & moved to Lemont. Sycamore '99-'06, and DeKalb since then.
But my lesson in proper bongatude from John was mid-'79. A friend was living on John's back porch (hey, wadda ya want, he was a folk singer.....) & I stopped by. First time I met John, and not only did he teach me that, he reached under the couch, said "Here, play this!" and handed me a New York Martin. Class act.
Peter (who will add that the esteemed Mr. Calhoun was the first person he knew with a padded toilet seat, and that the friend he was visiting - Chicago folk legend Mick Scott - spent some time teaching guitar at the Old Town School)
