The photograph shows Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore performing his poetry at the Berkeley Folk Festival in 1965. Photographer unknown. This is how I recall Daniel. He was a legend who'd moved beyond the ZC by the time I met him but he would drop by to visit - with friends in robes and enveloped in a cloud of pot smoke. What a great character and one who aged well ever upward!
