Sharon and John, FOFF is a good place to start, but do not expect a similar Folk environment to Pennsylvania. I have found Orlando to largely be obsessed with the rat and the tourist dollar. Tampa offers far more alternative music opportunities. Skipper's Smoke House is a great venue. Check out WMNF88.5 radio's web site. It is one of the best community radio stations in the country and they promote concerts including everyone from John Prine to The Red Elvises. A good friend of mine promotes some wonderful concerts in Lakeland, FL. He books local musicians to open for nationally known performers. His Winter concert series includes: Pierce Pettis, Rod MacDonald, Steve Young, Eric TAylor, Roy Book Binder, Richard Shindell, Harvey Reid, and Vance Gilbert. There are also some pretty good festivals in Central Florida: Wings and Strings in Lakeland, Fl, The Will Maclean Festival near Dade City, Fl, and The Gamble Rogers Festival at St. Augustine. The music is there, you just have to search it out and failing that there is always my back porch. Ron.
