Who's going?
Who's performing?

Come find me -- I'll be at the Dusty Strings booth in the Instrument Emporium most of Saturday and Sunday and performing with Telynor on the Northwest Court stage on Monday at 4:20.

I'll be at the fest; I'll look for you. I've heard of Telynor; all good.

John,

I told Davy I might be coming up, but it looks like I'll have to stay home after all :( I want to save up my trip funds to come see Kate Rusby in July. *grin*

But have fun without me, and give Davy a hard time ;)

John, you're making me very homesick...WISH I could be there.

Say "love ya" to Cali and Alden and give 'em a hug for me, will you please?

May your weather be good and your audience mellow!

I'll second that, Lin. My first Folklife was in 1983, performing with two friends from Portland. When I moved to Seattle I joined the Sacred Cow Harmogenizers...are they still around? I hear Col. Sandy Bradley is no longer doing her instrument auction. Many fond memories of Seattle Center over the years. Have fun, everybody!

Aloha,
Mark

Haven't been in years. I'll try to make it this year though. Maybe I'll find you.

BTW, does John Calvin still work at Dusty Strings? just wondering.

The Folklife Website http://www.nwfolklife.org/folklife/ has the schedule posted now. Although there may be some changes, it's pretty well set. John P. I'll see you at the Dusty Strings booth. I can always use/want/desire another guitar. 'Cause that's what a guitarist needs, just one more.

Oh yes, be sure to catch the Maritime Concert on Saturday.

Mollificent, I always give Davy a hard time. It's so much fun being the boss! It's nice to know that I have your permission, though. I'll mention that next time he complains ;^)

Lin, any excuse to give Cali and Alden hugs is not to be missed. How come I don't know who you are??

Mark, I think the Sacred Cow Harmogenizers were at the festival last year, so we can hope they are still around. Yes, last year was Sandy's last auction. I'm not surprised she gave it up -- it has turned into a LOT of work every year. I think The Trading Musician is doing it this year.

Benjamin, yes John Calvin is still being stalwart and true at Dusty Strings. I think the place would come unravelled without his calm presence.

Matthew the Chanteyman, I assume from your name that you'll be singing at the Maritime Concert? I think my friend William Pint told me he and Felicia would be there as well. Do you know them? Unfortunately, we won't have any guitar at the Dusty Strings booth, just the harps and hammered dulcimers.

It looks like maybe I won't have to be at the Dusty Strings booth most or all of Sunday . . .yippee . . .One full day I can handle.

I'll be there doing my usual spot at the Exibition Lawn Stage, Sunday at 4:20 PM. We are still moving into our abode in Carson WA but should be able to make the Sat and Sun stuff and even catch the instrument auction on Monday. Sandy Bradley does'nt run the auction but I understand she will be the auctioneer.Mudjack

John, I've known Cali since she was a mere child of 20-something, and Alden since shortly after they met--but after they moved "across the water" and I moved to Auburn, we didn't see each other much, unfortunately. You and I have probably met at Dusty Strings at one time or another, and just didn't know it!

Gad, sometimes I miss Washington State! Have a great time at Folklife.

John P., watch for Crooked Mile and Hellfire!, we'll be around. I do indeed know William Pint and Felicia Dale. Good friends as well. In fact, you know me as well. I'll clue you in at Folklife.

Mudjack, where is Carson, WA?

John, you've really got me missing it now... I was pleased to hear William's renditions of "Harbo and Samuelson" and "Hearts of Gold" show up on anthology CDs from Waterbug music. I haven't heard him in quite a while. I remember an awesome shanty sing in a stairwell one year when the Sat. night performer's party was held in a school. Bob Kotta and William and Felicia and Mariide and Pat Thompson and Chris Roe and....and....and...man, would I love to have a shanty sing like that on the shore of Hilo Bay! (Who cares if it's the wrong Hilo!)

Aloha,
Mark
