Hi, C:

Don't know about Peoria, but Rockford had a very active folk scene for many years. I performed at their concert series, and at a folk festival they used to run. I'm not sure if anyothing is going on there, anymore. I still have a phone number for a person who was very active in the folk society who still lives in Rockford. If that's not too far away, or you just want to see if he knows any other areas to check out, I'll give you his phone number. I just don't want to post phone numbers here.

If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll give you the number..

Jerry
