Mary Travis, of Peter Paul and Mary, died.
Owen played a folk festival in upstate New York
where they were booked. When he got on the elevator,
at the motel, she saw his fiddle case, and said,
"Hi, I'm Mary." Owen said, "Hi, I'm Owen."
How many Owens can there be? Chinese bebop
fiddle players from outer space? 6' 5" tall.
Built like a tight end or a middle linebacker.
Likes to hunt and fish. A Florida cracker.
Dips Copenhagen snuff. Spits and whittles.
If I was a taxidermist I'd want to stuff him.
A Mighty Wind. The folk mafia. Jews run
show business. Not rednecks. Not white people.
Literature is a branch of show business.
You are not their kinsman.
You're an outlander.
Not from around here.
Not from New York City.
Not our kind of person.
Backwards. A hick.
A good old boy.
A racist.
