Tom Paley will be doing a house-concert in Amador County, California, about 1 hour southeast of Sacramento, October 29th. This is a very rare opportunity to hear a true master in a comfortable, intimate setting... oh, ok, so it's my living room! email me for info: masha at banjodancer dot com, and spread the word if you know anyone in that neck of the woods.

oh, and you're right, the NLCR were Great at BOTMC! And the highlight of the weekend for me was dancing with Mike Seeger - what a wonderful dancer!
