   Re: Ted Anderson, where are you?

   This is Ray Phoenix. I met Ted back in the early 1960's at a Coffee House   
   called "The Jolly Coachman", back in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The manager, Gus   
   Halminiack (as I recall) ran it for several years, eventually moving it to   
   Omaha, where I also sang    
   several times. Ted and I didn't sing together, but we shared the billing when   
   the coffee house first opened, and had a good friendship.    
      
   I'd love to get in touch with Ted. I'm very sorry to hear of Marti's passing.   
   She told me that she had independently written the same poem I did, which went   
   like this:   
      
     Around the other side of the mountain   
      I heard a star singing,    
      with eternity by its side...   
        And I followed.    
      
   I can remember her being pregnant around that time, and how luminous she was,   
   and how happy.   
      
   Ted was a fine singer and a good friend, and I'd love to hear from him and to   
   find out how he's doing these days.
