He’s hung out with Janis Joplin and Studs Terkel,
performed with stars from country great Eddy Arnold
to rock giant Cream, been recognized by the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. But this Charlotte’s Web regular
from Galena, Il., who continues to draw enthusiastic
audiences after more than four decades, remains
down-to-earth.
In the past 30 years, among other things, Post has
recorded more than 20 CDs; written and performed
two acclaimed one-man shows; written several
children’s books with Janet, his wife of 17 years (who
also plays cello and piano for “The Laughing River”);
and helped to create and promote a successful,
musical, phoneme-based reading program for children
with developmental difficulties.
