Barret's Privateers

This has absolutely nothing to do with The Paradox. It's still a great tribute version of a Stan Rogers tune. R.I. P. Stan.

Since this is on a busy Saturday night they will only hold the table till 6:45 PM, so please don't be late. They have a one check policy and 18% gratuity is added to the bill. That's all pretty standard for large parties. That should give us plenty of time to eat, drink, get indigestion and hangout before the show. We should be at the Water Front Hilton around 9:00 PM.


Please confirm with me if you are coming to the dinner..... Buon Appetito!

Another radio station online....


We all have our favorites I'm sure. This was my brother's station. And what a station! You never know what they'll play next. I think they broadcast live in SF now too Rik.

Mary Allin Travers (November 9, 1936 – September 16, 2009)

We've lost another good one. Here's a video from 1967. She had soul and power.

These are some of Tony's photos from 2007.




































Steve Mann has passed away

According to a Facebook post by Don Burnham, Steve passed away yesterday. No details, but a lot of remembrances. I imagine that Janet could use a little love about now.

To celebrate the Newport Folk Festival 50th anniversary...

I thought I'd look at this great old 1968 book I have, The Face of Folk Music - and look what I found -




The book is disintegrating around the edges -

PARADOX CAFE RADIO


Gary, I think we have another model for the Paradox revival:
