"Hootenanny" took a lot of flack for avoiding the political side of folk music; Pete Seeger, Dylan, Phil Ochs, etc...I'm guessing those guys would have been REALLY out of place in Annapolis.

Pete Barbutti was on "The Hollywood Palace" that night...I loved watching him on Carson in the 70's.
 
The Indianapolis 500 took place this day and had the horrible crash that killed two drivers. Interesting how there was no planned TV coverage of that event back then. It didn't come to live TV until many years later.

Seeger refused ABC's demands that he sign a paper attesting to his loyalty to the U.S.; he'd been blacklisted during the McCarthy era. Consequently, he never appeared on "Hootenanny," nor did Dylan, Ochs, Joan Baez, or any other politically-oriented folkie; they stood by Seeger as a matter of principle. It's unfortunate because they might have helped the show survive the British Invasion; instead, viewers were getting either the Chad Mitchell Trio or the New Christy Minstrels practically every week and finally tired of them.

Dylan had a great line about the show. At the height of its popularity a movie called "Hootenanny Hoot" was made; it was about a television producer who sells a network on the idea of televising hootenannies. "I like it," says the network exec, "but will it sell soap?" When Dylan heard this he said, "We don't make music to sell soap. H---, we don't even buy soap."

The drivers who died were Eddie Sachs ad Dave McDonald. The film of that crash is gut-wrenching to watch, mainly because the cars were still using gasoline then, which produced huge flames as opposed to the alcohol based fuels used since the early 70s.
 
Corky -

Are you, or would you be related to, Chuck Marlowe who worked at WIBC Radio and may have covered some of the 500 races?
