Subject: Folk Music Week at Pinewoods Camp
There are still openings at Folk Music Week, the Country Dance and Song Society's program at Pinewoods Camp in the Miles Standich Forest near Plymouth, Massachusetts, July 24-July 31. This is an excellent place to share and learn traditional folk music. The staff features outstanding musicians who teach music and teach about the sources of the music. Many campers are also very knowledgeable and good musicians. This year's staff features
Alison McMorland & Geordie McIntyre: Scottish ballads, collectors & song carriers.
Bob Walser: music of the Carpenter collection, building and playing a Ugandan xylophone, and playing for (contra & square) dancing.
Carl Jones & Beverly Smith: American instrumental music and harmony singing.
Len Graham: Irish music & traditions
Michael & Carrie Kline: ballad, play party songs and coal mine songs of West Virgina.
Anni Fentiman and Dave Webber: 40 years of the English folk revival.
      Pinewoods Camp is set among beautiful Pine forests with two ponds for swimming. The food is very very good. This is a friendly camp with lots of chance for learning and for participation.
