Theme: The Yellow Door at 60.
The Yellow Door Coffee House in Montreal – now Canada’s longest running folk venue – started presenting folk music performers in the fall of 1966 – 60 years ago.
I first got to the Yellow Door as a high school student in 1969.
One night, after I’d been a Yellow Door regular for a while, Chuck Baker – who ran the Yellow Door from the late-1960s until well into the 1980s – drafted me to be a Yellow Door volunteer. Over the next few years, I sold tickets at the door, or served coffee behind the counter, or MCed the show – particularly the Sunday night hootenannies.
All the music on this show is by artists that I saw and got to know back in the day at the Yellow Door. It is but a small sampling.
