Jon, let's stop ignoring local performers, eh. There's a wealth of talent in our very small town of under 3000, who will be performing as part of the "Home Grown Traditions" song and tune circle.

They are: Nora Whelpton (fiddle,mandolin,banjo, 26 great grandchildren), Rick Freeman (blues vocal and guitar chops), Corry Oerlemans (all sorts of instruments plus Steven Foster), Barbara Bushewsky (ancient scripture put into poetry), Hugh Money (harmonicas), Stuart James (clawhammer banjo), Rick Law (bass player in every Princeton band), Andre Patry (DownEast, Scottish, Old Tyme fiddle).

And I'll throw in a song or two as well.
