I didn't see Wolf in those days, but in the last decade or so he became
quite the fixture at high-profile shows at small clubs, often hanging
near the stage hoping to be invited up. Only time I remember him making
it was a Club 47 reunion at Johnny D's; he never performed at the club
but hung out at it and occasionally helped out. Still qualified for a
couple of songs, though.
