| | Club 47 and the Early Cambridge Folk Scene -- Folk Reminiscences by Ed Smith |
 | | Thus was born the Cambridge folk revival, precursor of the nation’s folk revival that, a decade later, in Haight Ashbury, merged with the cultural underground in time for the Beatles’ release, in the summer of 1967, of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. |
| | In the mid-fifties, the Club 47, in Cambridge’s Harvard Square, was an oasis of progressive jazz as the first stirrings of the social turmoil that swept the nation during the sixties began to surface in the Deep South. |
