All right, Mumbles, now I'm REALLY upset! Toledo is only an hour away, but Friday is booked with the major party of the year at the Press Club and our folk society's coffeehouse.

I'm not familiar with Geremia's work, but he sounds like my kinda performer. Keep us posted on other gigs he might have in the area.

cheers,

david

This sounds like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, ALL the Toledos are too far from me. Are you providing shrimp for those allergic to eggs? hee hee.........

Max insists Toledo is in Ohio. I say it's in Spain. They certainly wouldn't have omelettes at a song circle in Oregon, would they?
Here's the blurb for Geremia's house concert for tonight in Davis, Calif, which I can't attend.

There is still room left for Paul Geremia's concert this Wednesday in Davis. For nearly 30 years Paul Geremia has survived solely by the fruit of his musical labors. In those 30 years he has built a reputation as one of the finest bluesmen, a scholar of blues and jazz, and one of the finest country blues fingerpickers alive. With six and twelve string guitars, harmonica and his soulful voice he keeps the traditional blues fresh and alive. His list of admirers includes Bonnie Raitt, Dave Van Ronk and John Hammond. Hailing, as he says laughingly, from the Providence (Rhode Island) River Delta he bought blues albums from the Salvation Army when he was younger. It was during the Sixties folk revival that he got his first tastes of acoustic blues and as he has continued on he has learned from the likes of Pink Anderson, Fred McDowell and Skip James. He has recorded nine solo albums with his most recent, "The Devil's Music" captures him at his best, in a small club with an appreciative audience.

Wish I could be there, but I gotta sing elsewhere.
