I'm planning to be in the Boston area from 8/5 to 8/9, while my wife enjoys a national conference of state legislators and staff members. I'll be mostly free to explore and, if I'm lucky, enjoy or do some music.

I know that Passims has its regular weekly Open-Mic Tuesday evenings, 7 pm to whenever, so I definitely plan to be there earlier for their sign-up. It would be nice if some of the folks who attend the MIT chantey sings were there as well. Most of what I sing is nautical, traditional style if not traditional.

I'm not aware of anything else going on while I'm in town that's folk music related but I certainly would appreciate leads.

Maybe I can get Barry Finn to give me a tour of his old neighborhood in South Boston.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
