On Friday, May 19, 2006, Joe Hickerson (who Pete Seeger calls "the folksinger's folksinger") will give a house concert in Rockland, Maine. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $15, with all proceeds going to Joe. For reservations, more information, and/or directions, call (207) 594-6357, or let me know by posting to this thread.

This is a rare chance to hear Joe this far north. Expect to sing along on plenty of choruses, and to hear some rare gems gathered during Joe's years as head of the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress. The co-author with Pete Seeger of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," Joe writes the regular "Songfinder" column for SingOut! and has sung at just about every U.S. folk festival and abroad in his more than 50 years of performing. He has three wonderful solo recordings on the Folk-Legacy label, and has recorded with many other musicians on various anthologies, including Folk-Legacy's classic "Five Days Singing" discs. Don't miss it! Kathy
