I have Tom’s email somewhere. If you email me privately I can send it to you.

I wrote what I wrote because it was just so WEIRD to run into mentions of Tom Campbell again, literally 50 years after I'd first heard his name. When his name came up again here, I followed a bunch of links and found several that pointed to his time spent in SoCal with Steve Gillette and Linda Albertino, so it pretty sure it has to be the same Tom Campbell. What I wonder about -- thinking back -- is whether Tom was at Squaw Valley in 1968. There were a bunch of music folks at that course who mainly kept to themselves. A few became semi-famous afterwards, and my hazy memory is that Linda may have been one of them. But since I wasn't part of their crowd I never got introduced around. So if you're in touch with Tom, Rick, please ask him for me if he was at Squaw Valley, 1968. The way I heard the story of "Darcy Farrow" from Steve Gillette, he was studying music at UC Riverside while trying to maintain a touring career as a folk musician back in the early 60s. So when it came time to write his thesis for his music composition class, rather than do actual research he got together with Tom Campbell and wrote this song, which he then turned in to his music professors at UCR, telling them that it was an authentic folk song that he had "discovered" while vacationing up near Lake Tahoe. According to the story Steve told me, the professor bought it big-time, praised Steve's analysis of the importance of this newly-discovered folk song, and gave him an "A." Again, this is what I was told. I loved the story so much I bought it hook, line, and sinker. If real-life Tom has anything to either dispute or add to the story, I would love to hear it. _____ From: "'Rick Archer' r...@searchsummit.com <mailto:r...@searchsummit.com> [FairfieldLife]" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com <mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com <mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2015 5:52 PM Subject: RE: [FairfieldLife] Rick's competition Tom Campbell co-wrote Darcy Farrow?

But I don't think they'd let him in the dome. Acid flashback, dude. Back when I first moved to Californica to go to college, I became passing friends with a very talented musician named Steve Gillette. Steve was a *fearsome* guitarist and a fair-to-middlin' songwriter ("Back on the Street Again"). And he loved to talk in his performances about his best bud Tom Campbell, and how they co-wrote a few songs together. Zap! Instant space-time connection! I just did the Googling, and it's the same Tom Campbell. Here, to flesh out whatever you think of Tom Campbell, is one of his early songwriting collaborations with Steve Gillette. Several versions of it, actually. Some of you who were folkies may remember the song.
