On my first visit to NYC in 1965 I was wandering around the Village and found myself in a sandal shop where a guy was playing a fiddle. I was an old-time music buff so I hung around and took a few pictures (IIIf, Elmar). Many years later I became a fan of Rory Block, and it slowly came back to me that the name on the sandal shop was Allan Block, and that he just MIGHT be her father. Sure enough he was. And he was the guy playing the fiddle. So today I dug out this 40-year old print, faded and stained, and scanned it. You can see it here: http://pswango.smugmug.com/gallery/825205 Rory played here last year and I missed the show. I wanted to give her a print of the picture she's never seen of her dad. If anyone knows an email address where I can reach her, let me know. I've looked a bit on Google without success. I also hope to locate the original negative so I can do a better scan. Thanks, Phil
