This is the third page of photos of the New York folk music scene taken by Aaron Rennert and Ray Sullivan in 1958-9, from a collection now archived at the University of North Carolina. I am helping the folks at UNC figure out who's who, so if you were there and recognize anyone, please let me know at elijah (at) elijahwald.com. For more photos, some of which have been identified but many of which remain mysteries, check out Village Folks page 1 and Village Folks page 2, as well as later (1966-69) pictures from the Indian Neck folk gatherings. And if you know anyone else who was on the scene and might recognize people, please pass the word. (As people are identified, I put their names with the photos. If someone is unnamed, they remain a mystery. If you disagree with any identifications, please let me know.)
