Hi DEckman and Stewart and anyone else. I just read the review of our Haller lake performance and I am quite flattered. Thank you for the kind words. I would really like to start volunteering more for the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society. After Folklife I plan to come around more often. by the way, anything i share with you folks is yours to adapt, share, teach, perform, etc. I really love to share my heritage and history with the community. I am a different person now than five years ago...i was a little more of a fighter / kind of rough around the edges. I am learning to be more peace-loving as I grow older. I stopped drinking completely about two years ago and now i really promote drug, alcohol and violence free events- i especially like family oriented and community building concerts. just wanted to thank you Bob Nelson for your kind words and wonderful music yourself. Stewart, you are a great musician yourself and i can't wait to hear you and your wife play 'cedar falls' sometime. Maybe I'll see you all at folklife- we play at 5 pm on sunday the 25th Intiman theater. should be an interesting show- I hope all of my co-performers can make it on time and have a good time with me. I have an egyptian cello player named ashraf hakim, quinalt opera singer steve thoreson, guamanian guitarist brian walters, matt marsden, haida indian singer / storyteller Ralph Bennet and more. see you all real soon- Bob Antone
