Saturday Concert Series to Benefit the Stan Yoder Memorial Preserve

The new Yoder Concert Series to benefit the Stan Yoder Memorial
Preserve is planned for each Saturday evening, beginning September
21, at Brewer's Village Cafe in downtown Boalsburg PA, on the diamond.
Musicians will perform from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., in a
non-smoking, all-ages environment. The atmosphere of good music and
good food will include appetizers, "Sweet Indulgence" desserts,
coffee, tea, and soft drinks (or you may B.Y.O.B.).

The Stan Yoder Memorial Preserve is a 15-acre nature preserve in
Boalsburg. Yoder was a active member of the community and former
president of The Boalsburg Conservancy. The Conservancy plans to
purchase the preserve and sell it back to Harris Township. The Stan
Yoder Preserve is for the enjoyment and education of residents of the
Centre Region. The land will be a Centre Region Park and Nature
Preserve.

Richard Sleigh, harmonica and guitar player, will start the series
with his concert on September 21, from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at
Brewer's Village Cafe. Sleigh has explored the harmonica from the
inside out for most of his life, building custom harmonicas for the
past 6 years. As a soloist, Richard sings, plays acoustic guitar and
harmonica. His music is primarily American roots style with songs
ranging from country & urban blues, country music, fiddle tunes,
swing, gospel, and early rock & roll.

His latest CD, "The Joliet Sessions," was recorded in 1996 in Joliet,
Illinois. The music is a combination of blues, bluegrass and celtic
instrumentals, a unique rendition of the classic "16 Tons," and a
solo harmonica/vocal version of Peter Green's "Oh Well." This
recording showcases Sleigh's fluid and highly developed
rack-harmonica playing, soulful vocals, rhythm guitar, and intricate
solo harp flights. He has performed with Iain Matthews, Taj Mahal,
Maria Muldaur, Bo Diddley, Susan Werner, and many others as a
harmonicist.
