Dear Editor,
I was eagerly looking forward to reading about the Ned Sesquicentennial celebrations, since I really miss Ned after having to leave five years ago. And the article was thorough and fascinating. But the party seems to have missed a HUGE part of Ned history – the music scene of the 60s and 70s.
Not a mention of the historic recordings made at Caribou Studios by the A-Class list of artists who recorded there. Or of the famous jam sessions at the Pioneer Inn. In fact, the only historic music reference I’ve seen recently in The Mountain-Ear was in an article a few weeks ago about Ned churches, mentioning rock legend Richie Furay as a church founder, with barely a mention of his musical status.
I’m just plain old dismayed at the neglect of this vital part of Ned history during such a terrific celebration of that history.
