Subject: RE: May Day (only just though!) From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Apr 19 - 09:28 PM If anyone's in Padstow for May 1, keep an eye out for my friend Robert Rodriquez. He's blind and balding, and has the tan skin of a Dominican - although he's from Manhattan. He has a great breadth of knowledge of folk music and folklore, and he's a great storyteller. He's very excited about being in Padstow for Mayday. -Joe- |
