Boston's Club Passim Important Nurturing Grounds for Songwriters

This past weekend Club Passim was the host to a bevy of singer/songwriters who are more than just the dernier cri of singer/songwriters. It would be difficult to single out any of the names without doing disservice to those not cited - May the reader here check this years line up at the Passim's website and explore the names who happen to be the creme'dela creme writing and performing in their various corners of the world. The biannual four day Boston Marathon of Music ( some 45 hours ) was best summarized of by storyteller Brother Blue (a.k.a. Dr. Hugh Morgan Hill) who recapped it as one of "the best experiences for preparing him as a participant in the human race." A point well taken when you consider his many decades of touring experience throughout the world. "If you, as poets and songwriters, do your job - you can change the world." Special thanks to Matt ( Can you get me more caffeine? ) Smith and his most competant staff for the excellent treatment and the smooth transitions between sets.
