Directions and info at http://njfolkfest.rutgers.edu/index.htm
Among his many awards, in 2007 Mike received the New Jersey Folk Festival Lifetime Achievement Award. Look for photo 23 in the 2007 gallery link http://njfolkfest.rutgers.edu/photos2007/photos.html
Feel free to pass the word along to any former Rafferty students.
