Hey Jed,
Glad we're going to see you in these parts for the mini-fest!

It's probably too late to book a house concert around the mini-fest, since our newsletter goes to press tomorrow (January 10), and if it's not in the newsletter, it's really not worth doing because nobody will know about it. Hope Charlie weighs in with a PM to you, since he's the house concert booker for FSGW. You might also want to check the website (www.fsgw.org) to see what else he may have booked around that time. I know we have a house concert on Feb. 1, our Open Sing on Feb. 7, and our monthly program on the 8th.

As for radio hosts, the only one who does live interviews with singers passing through is Mary Cliff at WETA-FM. Go to www.weta.com for a link to her e-mail. Her show airs on Saturday nights from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Or you might try our local internet folk station, hober.com. They sometimes do live events, although I haven't seen any announcements from them about these kinds of things lately.

Safe travels. Sorry to hear about your mom. My dad also has Alzheimer's. It's a bear. PM me, and I'd be happy to tell you about a couple of really helpful books that will help keep YOU from going crazy as a relative/caregiver.
Kathy
