The following is an episode taken from a series called FOLKFEST, a locally produced show by Chicago PBS station WTTW.

I don't know if it was a national series or not or how long it ran.

Thanks for this link, "Touhy". I'm a big Bob Gibson fan, and do his web site (for his daughter), so this video was a wonderful "find". Thanks so much!

Bob was one of Gord's biggest influences, both for 12-string style and for the "trilogy" song structure.

The Gibson site is at www.bobgibsonlegacy.com (http://www.bobgibsonlegacy.com) .

Val, I have to admit, I watched the video, and didn't have a clue that was Bob Gibson until you told me so.
I really enjoyed his music.

That is rather interesting. Obviously, you focused on the music which is the right thing to do. But you managed to miss the multiple times the announcer said it was Bob Gibson!

They actually did an amazing job with the credits. They named the backup musicians twice, and they were also in the credits at the end. The bass player is Herbert Brown, who is also pictured on the back cover of the Gate of Horn LP. His daughter had written to me when Hamilton died, and as soon as I saw the video I knew I would send the link to both Meridian (Bob's Daughter) and Selah (Herb's daughter). As all Lightheads know, the backup players don't always get the recognition they deserve, and I thought that that TV show did a wonderful job.

Selah has already written back to say that she sent the link to her Mom too!

PS: Glad you liked the music!

Well, the truth is, I was chatting while listening to the concert. I probably just missed his name. I tend to tune the talking out and just listen to the music.
