Rolf did many folk, blues, and flamenco shows on KPFA in the early 60s, as well as a live series from his Berkeley club, The Cabal. I was his producer for most of this time.

You can read of Rolf’s journey from his family’s flight from Nazi Germany through his death in Santa Fe in 1994 at: http://folk.uio.no/alfs/rolf.html.

His family maintains a Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/ROLF-CAHN-HIS-LIFE-AND-MUSIC/318756167982

I wrote this poem for Rolf in 1971 when he urgently needed to get out of Berkeley.  Medicine Bundle
