Any Arlo Guthrie fans?

[Sgt. Pepper]

most people don't know that she wrote and performed "wind beneath my wings" that Bette Middler made famous

Funny you mention that, because Nanci performed "From a Distance," another song that helped Bette's career. Turns out the record label didn't like Nanci's voicce very much, so they kept her version from getting as much exposre. On stage, Nanci said, "Look where I am today, and look at at Bette Middler's career!" Ouch!

Yeah, he told the story behind Coming into Los Angeles of the pot bust. Then he broke into it with his son's band, the Mammals.

Duppy Man, Arlo is still pretty active in his touring from what I understand. My hippie aunt and uncle have seen him multiple times.

I wonder if he will tour GB in the future I would love to catch him live, i've seen Dylan.another great bit of folk history is Fairport Convention
im going to have a look on the web I thought he had packed up touring years ago the Alice's restaurant thing he said years ago he would not perform it again also the master copy was destroyed so it has become a very rare album
