We saw them almost by accident performing at the State in Falls Church some years ago, maybe around 1999, but I have not followed very closely nor heard much really since the late 70s. I still have the first two LPs. Thank you for filling me in, I will try and keep an ear out for future benefit events. BTW here is a great discography: http://www.angelfire.com/wy/jbguitar/ We were fortunate to have such an excellent group of musicians playing locally, albeit for a very short time.

I've known Stanley Whitaker from Happy the Man for years. He has two rare forms of cancer now with no health insurance. There was just a big benefit in Baltimore that I couldn't make it to. And Leon Redbone is awesome. I always break out his Christmas album at this time of year. His version of Frosty the Snowman is the best! More good stuff!
