Friends,

Please join the Appalshop Archive in two upcoming events celebrating the preservation and CD release of the 1978 June Appal Recording of the late, great banjo balladeer - the Reverend Buell Kazee (JA009 - Buell Kazee). With the generous aid of original album producers Loyal Jones, Jonathan Greene, many folks at the Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives, Norm Cohen, Maggard Studios and others, I believe we have produced a CD faithful to the original, as well as added 7 great bonus tracks culled from the same recording sources (with many thanks to Mark Wilson, John Cohen, and the Kazee family). For more information, please go to www.appalshop.org/archive/kazee.

Kentucky
First - the official CD release party and concert will be on Saturday, June 9th, from 4 to 6pm in the Appalshop Theater in Whitesburg, KY. The show will include musical performances by Brett Ratliff, Rich Kirby, George Gibson, and special guest - Philip Kazee, Buell Kazee's son. The show is a part of Appalshop's 21st Annual 'Seedtime on the Cumberland' Festival - which this year will also include performances by Charlie Louvin, Lee Sexton, and the legendary fiddler Clyde Davenport among others. There will also a quilting party, films, banjo contests, and square dancing. For more information, go to www.appalshop.org/seedtime.

New York City
Please join me at EAT Records in Brooklyn on June 24th from 6-8pm for
the NYC version of a CD release party of the new CD. The first 12 people to come and play one Buell
Kazee-associated tune on any instrument will receive a free copy of
the new CD!

EAT Records is at 123 Meserole Ave (between Leonard and Eckford) in
Greenpoint, Brooklyn near the Nassau Ave. G-train/McGuiness Blvd. BQE
exit.

I would be grateful if you would forward this message to anyone you think might be interested in attending either of these events. Thanks much, and I hope to see you there.
