Two cuts on a Joan Baez album with the Greenbriar Boys, Little Darling, Pal of Mine and Amelia Earhart's Last Flight.*
Then Country Pickin' and Hillside Singin' with the Osborne Brothers and Red Allen, and the first Charles River Valley Boys album, with Ethan Signer and Fritz Richmond, "Mt. Auburn Records MTA 1." #All downhill from there, I guess...
*Later: my memory's definitely going! Amelia Earhart's Last Flight was on a Vanguard "New Folk" sampler or some such; the other Greenbriar Boys cut on the Baez album was Long Black Veil. #And I shouldn't leave out the other early BG album I loved, Dian & the Greenbriar Boys with Dian James. #Folk meets bluegrass -- happened all the time in the sixties...
