Gordon Bok did a solo show down town last month which I saw. The most interesting thing is that he used a Balans chair (see the current discussion in net.consumers). He sat real funny though - instead of putting both knees on the lower supports, he put on foot on the support and propped the guitar on his knee, while (I think) putting the other foot on the floor. He claimed he used the chair to help his back, but I'm not so sure it would work... So who ever said folk singers can't be trendy? While on the subject, Bok/Muir/Trickett did "Waltzing With Bears" in their Washington appearance last year; they told the same story about trying to spread the song by the "folk process" since the Dr. Suess people objected to formal publication.
