Subject: RE: African Tony Bird in RI Nov.13
Maeve, thank you for your information. You are much better informed about Tony Bird than I am. You are also better informed than the Stone Soup volunteer who gave me his information and misinformation about Tony! I am not a volunteer at Stone Soup but go to most of the concerts. Stone Soup is in its 30th year of presenting concerts almost weekly, Sept.- May, but every year it is a struggle to keep this nonprofit venue going. We know Tony has fans in this area and want them to know about his concert. One thing that is hurting folk venues in southern New England is that the Boston area public radio station no longer has its only general folk music program on Saturdays from 12-3 which included folk calendar announcements. It does still have a Celtic program on Saturdays from 3-6, but they announce only Celtic music events in the area. I am not sure where else Tony will appear.
Topical Tom, good to hear from you.
