50 years ago, I took over The Golem, Part 3

The Golem was a Montreal Folk club that I ran from 1974 to 1976 and from 1981 to 1987. I’ve already done two full shows to mark the 50th anniversary of when I started running the Golem on May 24, 1974 and they can be heard at these links.

Thanks Robert. BTW, I believe it's the CBC tech crews that have been turning the signal off while they work on the tower.

A very interesting interview. I've been a fan of Michael Jerome Browne since his days in the Stephen Barry Band, but this was my intro to Mary Flower..
