It won't be much, Bob, but I'll be kicking in a contribution this weekend.

For the many 'Catter's who have never attended a Getaway or are not in that wonderfully rich folk community in the greater Washington DC area, Bob is a fine musician and music historian, not to mention pretty darn knowledgeable about guitars and instruments. Bob is a musician and a folklorist who possesses a wide repertoire of music, history and lore, and is one of the richest repositories of American folk music, history and lore represented in the membership of the awesome FSGW, which in terms of Folk Societies in the USA is a national treasure. Bob has a special interest in the Civil War but his knowledge and lore of American folk music and the social history represented extends well beyond the Civil War.

I don't think it matters whether what you put up as a sample is from the CD or not, Bob. Make sure it is a good quality recording that puts your best musical foot forward, and have some one other than you write a really good and true blurp that authentically "sings" your praises. I say other than you because I don't think you will sing your own praises as well as they ought to be sung.

All the best,

Janie
