I remember Steve and The Tin Whistle from High School in Illinois. He didn't mention the town, maybe for a reason, so I won't either. I do remember the artwork on the cover of the newspaper was incredible. If you read this Steve, can you remember who the artist was?

Steven is indeed the man! I wish i knew he lived in Woodstock NY because I go there on occasion and was just there last week. (good head shops there).
