Richie Havens was another Unicorn regular. The folk scene in Boston/Cambridge in the 60s was hard to beat, for sure. Back in the 80s, I went to a Club 47 reunion show that Tom Rush organized at Symphony Hall in Boston. Man, that was a trip. They actually ended up having a similar concert for a few consecutive years and my wife and I joined her brother and his wife for 2 or 3 of them. I wish they'd made videos of those. They'd be priceless. I remember a rather chubby-at-the-time (but still adorable) Bonnie Raitt in shiny spandex standing next to Tom Rush in jeans and a flannel shirt and saying to the audience, "OK, pop quiz. One of us is from L.A. and one of us is from New Hampshire; can you guess which is which?" Baez, Bo Diddly, Bill Keith, Patti Larkin, Eric Von Schmidt, are just a few of the people who took part in those concerts. Really amazing.
Ooh, look what I found.
