Ed Renehan - Candy Man

Ed studied guitar with the great Gary Davis when he was a teenager. Not long after (age 20), Ed recorded with Pete Seeger for Folkways Records, now Smithsonian Folkways. Working out of the musically-rich Woodstock, NY area when in his mid-twenties, Ed also performed with Don McLean, the tempestuous Phil Ochs, and many others. Pete Seeger and Ed performed music for the soundtrack for the WMHT-Public Television program Hudson River Journeys (produced by Artie Traum in 2006). Ed, who no longer plays in public very often, most recently performed with Happy and Artie Traum at the WAMC Public Radio's Linida Norris Auditorium (Albany) in March of 2008. Ed insists that we include the following statement: "My son Bill is 47 times the guitarist I will ever be."
