Description
Photograph of Al and Gail Shirk at the Ohio State Fair taken by A. V. Shirk. Albin Vineyard Shirk, commonly known as “A.V.” was born on April 8, 1938. He grew up in Ohio and graduated from Worthington High School, later attending The Ohio State University in the late 1950s. AV worked at the Columbus Dispatch in the Classified Advertising Department, but in 1960 he got a job with WOSU and did music programming and also started producing his own radio shows until 1964. He recorded many of the folk music and protest music concerts performed in the University area. Most of these were held at the Sacred Mushroom coffee house, owned by Miles and Joan Gibbons or at Larry's bar. Both venues were located on North High Street across from the OSU campus. He then went into commercial photography, and worked at a variety of jobs, eventually relocating to Tucson, Arizona in 1976. He returned to Columbus in 1996.
