This is a very rare recording of Emmylou Harris from 1966 at the Cellar Door in Washington DC. A Dick Cerri had a Sunday night radio show in Washington DC until 1993. Dick also hosted folk concerts at the Cellar Door. On a radio show, later in time, he played this recording. I do not know who a Fletcher is, as she thanks this Fletcher, as I believe Fletcher was the feature act and this was the encore part of the concert, based on what he says to the audience, you stayed. Then Ms. Harris mentions a Mike who wrote the song she is about to sing. I do not know who this Mike, as my thinking it, it could be a Mike Auldridge, but I am not sure.
I do not have a un copyright picture to use for this youtube, so I used the mountains of Acadia National Park. I also have a rare recording of John Denver and Shawn Colvin from the Dick Cerri show on youtube. Search the name and Dick Cerri as that will get you to the youtube.
