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 sangseveral 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.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Ted Anderson, songwriter and folk performer, who used to appear at the old 12th of Never coffeehouse in Richton Park, Ill., during the late '60s...as well as other venues in
the Chicago region. He previously was with a trio, The Hammer Singers, which was based in Wisconsin.
When last seen (by me), he was living with wife, Marti, and children,
Joel and Bridget, in Kansas City area and was working with Stan Plesser and Good Karma Productions. If you see him, tell him an old friend is trying to find him.

Hi, my name is Skip Goforth. I was Ted's drummer back about 1976 when he lived at the farmhouse south of Kansas City.
We had a lot of fun playing local gigs, and I thought he was a wonderful guy.
If he sees this, hello Ted,love you,man!

This is Larry Axon. Yep, I remember when you and I played with Ted in that band. How are you my friend? Still kicking?
I live in Tucson but I'm retired from computers and back FT with music (well, as FT as you can be in the CV19 crisis!).
Anyway, I'd love to hear from you.
Larry
