I messaged the NASF organizers to think about some potential overlapping fun, too, and PM'ed Dan Keding on it as well.

I totally missed Mansfield University's Seven-Stringband concert coming up this weekend when I planned the MudGather we just ended. (Old Timey and bluegrass.) The acoustic music stuff in Tioga County is so fragmented and news travels through odd word-of-mouth channels that we are just starting to be a part of... hardly anyone does advance publicity as we know it in today's marketing world, because that approach is just not culturally valid here.

If anyone will be up here this weekend, for info see www.mnsfld.edu-- there will be a link in the news section on a Jim Glimm memorial concert. We will probably miss it to hook up with Irish Sergeant at his Elmira civil war camp to see his new Civil War songbook. But the house is available if anyone wants to hit the stringband thing and be with us any over the weekend-- we'll get home late Friday night from Elmira. It would be great, DB, to go, just to hook up with the local players who will be involved and in attendance. Carry a guitar case and people will find YOU! Duh! Why didn't I think of that before!!!??? I musta been raised in a *(&*&&^^& barn!

But whoo-ee! What a summer it will be! Stuff the autoharp shoulder-bag with flyers and GO EVERYWHERE!
