Notes: Chuck and Marian Dockham lived in Grass Valley. For several years we would drive up the day after Thanksgiving, spending the night at their hand built. beautifully crafted cabin for "blues night" Friends would gather at their house, Marina Bogleman, played her old Martin D28, Chuck, also on guitar, bass player and piano player..I had my Gibson J50, Hank with his J200. We played old rural blues and jug band music
Many years later when I had moved to Auburn, I would drive up to Grass Valley to play old blues and folk music with Marina. We went over to Marian's house for lunch, one day and she gave us some of her spiced figs. Delicious!
