Barbara, when you do, say Susie Stockton sends her love, will you? Haven't seen him for ages - and he is the Master when it comes to the interpretation of any song.
Enjoy!

I get to see him two weekends in a row, in Mystic, CT, and Cumberland, RI. Time to refresh the Summer Solstice Festival, because that's the event at which he will perform. The Mystic thread is already active.

Good weather is predicted for the Blackstone River Theatre's Summer Solstice Festival at Diamond Hill State Park in Cumberland, RI, on Saturday. I'm already looking forward to hearing Archie again!

The weather was wonderful and of course so was Archie!

At the session after the festival, one of the young singers sang a song (wish I could remember what). She introduced it by saying that she was usually accompanied by a piano player but hoped to do it with just another young woman playing a guitar. However, that other woman soon stopped playing--but Archie picked it up. I hope the young woman is delighted that she can now say Archie Fisher accompanied her singing on his guitar!
