Listener Ed graciously contributes more finds from his collection of WFMU clippings: "WFMU has a tradition of making money through its begathon and special events. In 1968, a few months after becoming free form, a benefit concert was held at town hall in NYC. Here is a scan of the programme for this event and and its cover. Billy Mitchell and Buzzy Linhart supported the station through many live appearances on air and at various events. Earth Opera became Seatrain and made a couple LPs under each name. Peter Rowan and David Grisman are still around after being gratefully dead while PF Sloan remains on the 'Eve Of Destruction' after writing too many hit songs. Vin Scelsa hosted the show."
