He recorded songs once with legendary folk singer Pete Seeger and traveled by train to his gigs, eventually settling in West Palm Beach in 1974. He soon became a local celebrity, tunes, road blues and bawdy ditties.

Russell Hibbard, who plays in the Banyan Street Jug Band, likes that the Fourth on Flagler parade honors the type of musician who is usually ignored.

Katherine Jeanne Ferguson Boaters get customs site at marina for holiday By LARRY H0BBS Palm Beach Post Staff Writer When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to take the Sea Ray to the Bahamas for the Fourth of July weekend, boaters should have the right not to spend hours waiting to clear customs on the way back.

In the spirit of the holiday, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection have come up with an alternative to widely unpopular regulations that forced boaters returning to the country to park their boats and go through customs at the Port of Palm Beach or Palm Beach International Airport Instead, recreational boaters returning Sunday to Palm Beach County from the Bahamas and other foreign ports can clear customs at the Sail-fish Marina on Singer Island, the agency announced Wednesday. A team of customs agents will be there from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. to process boaters. Customs spokesman Zachary Mann said the agency plans to offer alternative check-in points on all holiday weekends.

All boaters arriving from Fort Pierce to Key West must go through customs, Mann said. Memorial Chapel, Boynton Beach. Funeral today. Gise, Ethel, 93, of Boynton Beach, died Sunday. Neptune Society, Fort Lauderdale.
