Allan! Your back!! Well, to this topic! As everyone who was at my first gathering will testify, sometime you don't know 'folkies' are around. When I starting telling people in my area about the gathering and what kind of music would be present, they came out of the woodwork! I told everyone there would be no electric, only accoustic and was I shocked. People who had been at my husbands (I have a husband :-0) jams asked if they could come to play and listen. What a party! The catters AND the locals were out on the dock til 1:30 AM playing folk and blues. It was great! We need another one soon!

The locals were a little bit more aggressive than our 'cats, but very talented. I've been invited to several folk events since then in my area, but I've been swamped. Soon as the store opens I'm going!

Point is, they're out there. You just have to go find them.

Love, annamill
