To all the 'Cats in and around Albuquerque, NM: Seamus Kennedy will be making another of his fabulous tour stops at the Rio Grande Zoo on July 28. Gates usually open at 5:00 p.m. and you can watch the polar bears and the orangutans until hizhonor takes the stage around 7:00.

Of more immediate interest is the 2006 Albuquerque Folk Fest, set for June 17 at the Fairgrounds (now renamed the "Expo New Mexico" for some dumb reason.) Starts at 11:00 am and goes to 11:00ish in the p.m. Great music, lots of instruction, jam sessions, kids playing harps and fiddles and dancing and all kinds of good stuff. For more info the website is www.abqfolkfest.org

The ol' Freightdawg will not be able to be at the folkfest (bummer) because the Mrs. Freightdawg is *this* close to delivering our first baby !YEAH! If all goes well, the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise we WILL be at the Zoo music night to hear Seamus.

Not to put any pressure on him, but it will be our baby's FIRST concert and I expect nothing but the finest in entertainment!

Can't wait -

Freightdawg

Orangutans AND Seamus!?!?!?!? What could be better! Especially if the orangutans are brave enough to heckle him--- Oh, to be THERE!

Mind the decibels and the baby's ears, now, FD.

I better do a lot of stuff from my kids' CD.
Art & Dawg, don't forget to come and say Hi BEFORE the show.
It gets kinda busy right afterwards.
Look forward to seeing youse guys.

Susan, the orangutans have nothing on the cicadas out there.
They are really noisy.
A couple of years ago, I was onstage with Cathie Ryan and her band in Albuquerque, and in the lull between songs, I caught a large cicaada on the fly, and held it in my cupped hand up to the mic.
The bugger chirped away merrily, and then I tossed him up and watched him fly off.
Ah, showbiz!

And the peafowl climb up on the trees next to the stage and have the best seats in the house!
