Yes I know this must have been done before and may bore everyone to tears, but I'm new ( but not new at all to folk music ). I would like to know something about you cats to see where you're coming from so a) what's your instrument   b) what and where do you play.
I play a Martin D3R ( a cheaper version of the D35 ). There are no fewer than 10 folk societies that hold monthly open stages near me here on Vancouver Island, Canada and I am trying to host 2 others in a restaurant and a nightclub. I do about an equal amount of finger picking and strumming and most of my material is from Canadian folksingers which I hope to promote to those of you unfamilar with them.
