Subject: RE: John Roberts at The Borderline Sun. 3/25
Hi Friends,
                   This is your final reminder to make your reservations for the JOHN ROBERTS concert next Sunday at The Borderline.

When it comes to traditional folk music and ballads, there is none better than John Roberts on the performer's circuit today. John is a veteran and has seen and done it all. Blessed with a sweet tenor voice and a magical touch on the Anglo concertina, John Roberts will charm you with songs from his native Britain as well as early Americana all delivered with witty sense of humor. Songs of the seven seas are his specialty. The afternoon will also be an educational experience as John traces the origin and history of each song from England, through Ireland and eventually to the various regions of Norh America in different reincarnations. It is known as the folk process. We are indeed very fortunate to have an artist of this caliber perform at The Borderline.

For those of you who like singer songwriters we have a really good one opening the show, Joe McKay from Secaucus, New Jersey, known to his friends at Backroad Joe. He is also a polished veteran who draws his material from real life events and situations and plays great guitar. Backing him up on bass is Gordon Roherer who played with the late Terence Martin. I personally enjoyed Joe's CD very much and hope to have him as a headliner some time in the future.

The concert is this coming Sunday, March 25th and begins promptly at 2:00 PM. The venue is the New City Volunteer Ambulance Corps located at 200 - Congers Road, New City, NY 10956.
There is plenty of FREE parking on site and for those coming up from Manhattan, the bus from Port Authority stops at our front door. Admission is $20 per person ($15 if you are a Borderline or Pinewoods member), and we ask that you bring a cold pot luck dessert dish to share with 4 other people. Please bear in mind that we do not serve alcohol, nor do we permit it on the premises and this policy is strictly enforced.

Reservations can be made by e-mail to solz1@optonline.net or by calling me at (845) 354-4586.
More information about our club and upcoming schedule is available at The Borderline website which is www.borderlinefolkmusicclub.org along with MP3s and photos of artists that we present.

See you all next Sunday.

Yours Truly
SOL ZELLER, President
Borderline Folk Music
