Mark Spoelstra - "Sugar Babe, It's All Over Now"

[schokaholik]

the rythm is like the smooth beat of a horse pacing down a path.

What is so amazing is that, while left out of the radio music playlists for decades, folk remains alive and well. Like the desire for freedom and a fair shake for all folk music rolls on. Roll on, friends!

I only hear Mr. Spoelstra's 12-string on this....

Still, whomever was with Mark, I suspect, was specialized in just the same way.

Thanks, and thanks again!!

Dave Sears is the guy with the banjo. He sounded more like Pete Seeger than Seeger. He's still around, and performs at the Village Reunions they have each year.

For those few who may not recognize the place, this is at the Arch in Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park, NYC looking north. Beyond the Arch is 5th Avenue. The Empire State Building is in the far background to the left.

I'm wondering if I ever rode on one of the shuttle buses he drove in Yosemite without realizing it was him. But in 1999 I did get to meet him at a concert he gave in Fresno.

Great. The sort of find that one who appreciates the posting of might immediately save to real player before it gets deleted...might even buy the album.

Mark Spoestra was a wonderful artist.

Sad to say, I had not realized he was ill until his last illness turned for the very worst.

His son was kind enough to contact me.

Great artist, great family.

Thank you!

thanks for the great family thing. Actually, I don't think I'm related. But if I am, now I know where I get my music skills from.
