People who have been to the FSGW Getaway in recent years know Elizabeth and Sandy LaPrelle's great singing. Jim Lloyd is a friend of theirs, another fine musician from Rural Retreat, VA. He and Elizabeth have performed together for years and in some ways Jim has been a mentor to her.

Jim is a very good instrumentalist who is also a darned good lead singer. His choice of songs is eclectic, lively and a lot of fun. He and his friend Jimmy Costa were teachers at Augusta Heritage Old Time Week in 2005 and their concerts got a great reception. I have Jim's CD, "One Night Only," and it gets a lot of play, partly because I keep trying to learn his songs :-).

We have a craft show that weekend but I am still hoping I can get to this concert.
