The Green Mountain Boys band from Putney, Vermont had formed in 1969 and performed in Craftsbury Common, Vermont on March 14, 1970. Banjo player, Bruce Stockwell, 14 years old, won the banjo contest that day.

Within a short time, news spread of the Green Mountain Boys and they caught the attention of Windham College students who were part of an early 1970s college funded Student Activities group. They included David W. Gray. We contacted David W. Gray, part of the group coordinating concerts at the college and in the tri-state area.

According to Gray, “At Windham and student activities, we really wanted to do a large-scale Folk Festival, both Bruce (Bramson) and I, and a number of other people had gone to the Toronto Folk Festival. We were just absolutely blown away. It was amazing. It was incredible. We thought, we need to do that in Putney, and so we decided to call that Putney Folk,

Putney Folk, the organization, was born. They needed a warm-up band. Enter the Green Mountain Boys.

This podcast follows the careers of the Green Mountain Boys, today, The Stockwell Brothers Band, and David W. Gray – In 2015 David W. Gray received an Oscar (Gordon Sawyer Award) for his technological contributions to the motion picture industry. Officially – "an individual in the motion picture industry whose technological contributions have brought credit to the industry." A fabulous career and a long way from Student Activities at Windham College.
