Thread Name: Urban Folk Music 1940-1960 (28 March NYC)
Subject: RE: Urban Folk Music 1940-1960
This mix of musicians, foundation heads, family members, etc. should make for a fascinating day. It is labeled a celebration, and tribute, and that seems to be what is shaping up. It is exciting to have the event at the Little Red Schoolhouse - Elizabeth Irwin High School. That school had very active ties with the folk music of the period.
    As usual the Folk Music Society of N.Y. is operating on a shoe string. We're trying to keep ticket prices low. If you are coming from out of town, we will try to find someone to put you up if you need a place to stay, but try motels, the YMCA, or a hostel. Write to publicity@folkmusicny.org. if you need to stay with one of our members.
