It was the late 1960's on Charles Street in Boston, outside one of the legendary clubs during the folk revival era, when these two new-to-the-scene young musicians first met. They've stayed friends ever since with their paths crossing at folk festivals, concert halls and clubs. Over the years, the two have guest-appeared on each other's record, Chris sang on "Somebody Else" for Loudon's Older Than My Old Man Now record. Then Loudon lent a hand on Chris' 50-year career retrospective recording Still on the Levee (singing on "What They Say").
