"The Society is devoted to the understanding and development of the folklore of this area. Collection, study, preservation, publication, and performance are all aspects of the Society's activities. The people of the Pacific Northwest are heir to a rich heritage of legend, song, dance, and other forms of lore. This study greatly aids the understanding not only of ourselves, but of our forebears and the land from which they sprung."

I changed the color scheme for the web site,
from black background with red text
to pale yellow background with dark green text.

Is that better?

(always tweaking, always changing, always adding, always learning)

Stewart, that's a fine piece of footage you captured of me sawing "Over The Rainbow." I also very much enjoyed seeing Bob Nelson's poster collection. My favs were of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. I've been busy keeping my own personal holiday tradition alive by sawing seesawnal sawngs with my singing saw at Seattle's Pike Place Market, where I debuted playing the saw so many years ago. What fun to make so many smiles!

Sawwwwwwwwww ya later

Reggie, looking forward to see you sawing again.

Bob, just posted another two items of historical interest:
my recent Victory Review piece on Earl Robinson
and the review of your and Don's reunion concert.
