Grab — I'll call and get you on the list for the Windsor Folk night on June 8l The music is very eclectic — people do everything from English/Irish/Scotish or whatever trad to Beatles, Cohen, Dylan — whatever, as long as it's acoustic. I do mostly blues there and there are very few who do, so they always seem to be up for it.

I'll PM you with details of how to get in touch with me.

If anyone else wants to come, drop me a PM and I'll provide the same info for you.

For anybody in Michigan/Ohio or wherever, he's how to find the place.

WFS holds its open mikes (limited to eight acts a night, signed up within the week leading up to the performance) once a month except in July and August. They're in Mackenzie Hall, a community centre in Windsor's west end.

From the Ambassador Bridge, take a HARD right as soon as you clear the customs/immigration kiosk (careful, you're cutting right across the truck lanes to do this, but it's legal) and go right back under the bridge. After about three blocks you hit a T intersection at Riverside Drive. Turn left. The road goes through a dipping S curve, then crosses Mill Street (traffic light) and one block later hits Brock Street. Mackenzie Hall is on the left, a big stone building that looks like exactly what it was — a small-town courthouse. There's free parking in a lot at the front or on the street directly across from it.

For the monetarily challenged, these things are free but we do pass the hat for donations to help cover the expense of the hall.
