I'm writing to invite all of you to the Eisteddfod. As some of you know, it is a festival of traditional music that is open to everyone. Come sing/jam/listen October 16-18. There are paid performers & guests, an open mike/campers' concert, and plenty of opportunity to jam and sing together. The discussion above referred to Lorraine (Lee) Hammond, Dave Howard and Dave Kiphuth who will be performing at Eisteddfod. I think Indian Neck is kind of an open secret. People who will be at Eisteddfod who (I think) go to Indian Neck now are Joy Bennett, Jerry Devokaitis, Jerry Epstein, David Jones, John Roberts, Neil Rossi, Heather Wood. There may be more overlap than that.
Eisteddfod was run by Howard Glasser in eastern Massachusetts for decades. It lost its funding sometime in the 1990's. About 7 years ago the N.Y. Pinewoods Folk Music club started it up again in New York City. Now it is moving upstate to the Friar Tuck Inn in Catskill, N.Y. Ironically it would be too expensive to hold it at Camp Friedman. Friar Tuck Inn with private baths, an indoor swimming pool, and good food is cheaper than the rate Eisteddfod could get at Camp Friedman. Other outstanding performers coming to Eisteddfod are: Tony Barrand, Paul Geremia, Bennett Hammond, Enoch Kent, Alison McMoreland & Geordie McIntyre, Sonja Savig, Dwayne Thorpe, Bill & Livia Vanaver, Mick Vandow, George Ward, and Eric Weissberg.
