At home in the Bronx, mid 1950s. Artie started out on banjo, but quickly became a really good guitarist as well. I'm playing my first quality guitar, a 1946 Martin D-18. I recently got it back, 40 years after selling it to a friend.

A poster for a concert at the Long Wharf Theater, New Haven, CT (early '70s).

Performing at the Newport Folk Festival, August 1969. Artie and I hosted this workshop stage - the participants were Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Jerry Jeff Walker, among others. Not bad!

Ad for our appearance at the Fillmore East in NYC, February 28th 1971. This was exciting, because it was the premier rock venue in New York. We opened for Gordon Lightfoot (and got an encore!)

A show at the legendary Joyous Lake, Woodstock, NY, C. 1979
L to R: Rory Block, Happy, Artie,
Roly Salley, John Sebastian. One of our many "Woodstock Mountains" shows, which featured a flexible cast of local - and talented - musicians.

Early publicity photo, around 1970, by Paul Goldsmith. This may have been taken when we were looking for a good cover image for our first album. It's finally been used as the cover shot for our 2006 release of live recordings from the '70s and '80s.

The first Homespun office outside of our home (1979). L to R: Nancy Goldberg, Susan Robinson, Jane Traum, Happy Traum. Behind us are our first high speed duplicators for running off cassette copies of lessons.

Recording with Pete Seeger for Homespun at Happy's Woodstock home, about 1990. Is that love in my eyes?

Outside the first Woodstock office: Jane, Susan, Happy, Nancy. Shortly after this was taken we moved to our present location, a large renovated building just over the Saugerties line.
