I wasn't alone in learning to play the guitar by watching Laura Weber on her television program on PBS. Folk/country singer Nanci Griffith; the folksinging trio of sisters Maggie, Terre and Suzzy Roche; and jazz guitarist Jane Miller all credit Weber with teaching them and inspiring them to play guitar with the television program "Folk Guitar." Many other less-known musicians say they learned from Weber.

I lived in Berkeley in the late 1960s and tried never to miss Laura's program. She was very kind and such a fine player. I think she used Tom Paxton's "I Can't Help But Wonder" as the show's theme music; at least I recall her playing and teaching the song. I wonder who has the show tapes?
