Folk loving folks!!
I have lived in the Atlanta area for over 10 years, and haven't met a folkie yet...Moved here from the Delta in MS...Yea lots of blues, but lot's of Bluegrass and folk too....Really miss getting together
Would LOVE to meet some other fans..just to jam, exchange songs...Been playing and singing since I was 13 yrs..finger pick guitar...sister and I love to sing...I live in (Pls forgive) Snellville...but would love to get to know anyone that loves this genre...love Kate Wolf, Childe Ballads, I tend to "folk up" all my songs....LOL
Anyway if there is any interest...pls contact via email...
ps...I've been married a long while, oldest child is 30...so this is definitely NOT a come on
Hope to hear from someone

Lou: I'm in Chattanooga area. There is a large autoharp/dulcimer/old-time group down there. They meet year-round. We had a little festival this weekend here in Chattanooga, and two of them came-up from Atlanta. Try to get the Georgia Autoharpers' homepage. They have a great get-together in August aat RedTop Mountain State park. Although, it's advertised as autoharps, all insturments are there.
Lots of good contacts through them.

Good Luck!!!!

Atlanta Area Friends of Folk Music (they have a newsletter that lists what's happening)....Southeastern Bluegrass Association(newsletter too)....Coffee houses such as Hungry Ear, Lena's Place, Red Light Cafe, Fiddler's Green.

Atlanta is a fairly big place with lots going on in the folkie world.
