Original Toronto Star caption: Blowing up a storm at Mariposa over the weekend, David Amram plays French horn during the Ragtime to Early Jazz concert. Critic Peter Goddard says one of the highlights yesterday was way performers like Amram could adapt to any situation. Ragtime concert seemed to show new Mariposa, while at same time there was a bit of the old as Pete Seeger presided over workship of work songs. Festival ended yesterday as it began Friday, unhurried.
