Subject: NOMAD 2006: Festival of Trad Music and Dance
Have you seen the exciting changes at NOMAD? The new website is up and the performance grid has been posted. It's going to be another great festival of traditional music and dance and I am happy to be part of it. Frank and I will be doing "Songs from the Attic" on Saturday at 7:00 with Jerry Rasmussen, and we'll be doing "Songs of the Civil War Era" Saturday at 8:00 with ShoreGrass. (That's gonna be a brisk walk from one room to the next!)

This festival is in New Haven, CT (about halfway between NYC and Boston) and happens this year on November 3-5. There are a few mudcatters performing including the Patons who will be there with their Folk Legacy booth, the Woodchucks, who else?

Live music events like this are worth supporting and well worth the trip. It's all done by volunteers, including the performances. I have no stake except that it's close to home for me and I enjoy it every year, so I want to see it live long and prosper!
