Hello W-O and CH and anyone else in the area who may be around.

I'm writing because I've just moved to Perth where I plan to spend 4 or 5 months. I was kind of hoping that you would fill me in a little on the local folk music scene. Willie-o, do you still organize concerts at the MC schoolhouse? Crowhugger, I believe you've mentioned going to a local open mike? I'd be glad to hear of any jam sessions or open mikes in Ottawa or Lanark County that you would recommend (I'm already familiar with Rasputin's schedule and the Glebe Celtic Slowjam).

Also, once I take care of the small matter of locating a source of income, I'd be glad to know any guitar or fiddle teachers that you recommend.

I also already know about the Stewart Park Festival... actually I'm playing in it... Saturday on the "acoustic stage".

And of course, PM me if you'd like to meet up to jam or whatever.

Thanks, Marion
