he has apparently been forgiven (Metafilter)
Ed Askew lost his martin tipple on a railroad platform 20 years ago. In 2009, someone returned it. Now he can play his classic freak-folk songs on it again. Though some of his best don't require any live accompaniment at all. Ed Askew made some of the strangest folk music of the late 60s and 70s. By the 80s, he had disappeared (after recording some great new songs live in studio on a Cable Access TV show). From a video on his Youtube Page, Ed explains what happened to him all those years ago, sort of. Besides the many albums he's released himself on his Bandcamp page, Ed also re-released an album of his 70s recordings (interview and review), Imperfiction, on Drag City this year. His other two early records, Ask The Unicorn and Little Eyes, are available for buying, if you want.
