No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: A very young Travis Wammack.

Music was everywhere. Jim Kweskin’s Jug Band at Mt. Auburn’s Club 47. Patrick Sky, the Indian activist, Mitch Greenhill, and farthest out of all, the Holy Modal Rounders. Walking the street, I heard Travis picking and harmonica wailing out of a dusty storefront. Young men who looked like me, with long hair, scruffy, Navy pea jackets or fleece-lined sheepherder’s coats, blue jeans, and booted, plodded through the city streets like rugged frontiersmen, carrying Martin D28s in black hard-shell cases.
