Does anyone know what's happening musically in Spokane? Song circles? Concerts? jam sessions? Thanks for your help. KT

"Each country has their own folk music, but the genre usually refers to American and British music that has been passed through the generations by oral tradition. It's simple, acoustic-based music that spins everyday events and common people into mythic status. Many traditional folksongs have no known author, they have simply evolved over the years. "

This is from a link at the site Guest/the Gulchero posted. Sounds like they too have had discussions on What is folk?

Good luck, KT. Sounds like there's lots of music there.

I've been trying to get the Spokane Folklore Society to take my Dad's name off of their list for over 4 years now. Must be epoxied on there. I've called, emailed, written; their last brochure came over the weekend. I crossed off the address and wrote "Deceased. Return to Sender." It came back to me, my message crossed off, the post office had stamped "Returned for Carrier Endorsement." Whatever in hell that means. If anyone from Spokane Folklore Society reads this thread, please ask your memberhsip person(s) to remove John Dwyer from the list.

There's an Irish session in O'Doherty's Grill once a week. It's a year or so since I was there so I'm not sure of the day.

There is a great place to hear music on Saturdays called MOTHER GOOSE'S. They treat the audiences and the performers right. I played there in January and it was wonderful.

Ross, I was there in Feb. while visiting Spokane; nice evening with Rosalie Sorrels. Do you live in Spokane? I get over there several times a year.

Rosalie was in Spokane last month and I missed it? God, I've got to get out more. Or at least read the paper once in a while.

Hey, thanks, everyone! I don't know Spokane very well, so it's good to have some tips on where to start.

Jen, yes, I am. Look for a PM. KT

KT,
Such good news! I checked, and I do have to give a lecture at the gallery the day before, but should be able to swing a visit to Spokane regardless. FYI, you might also check out the online broadcast of Inland Folk at www.nwpr.org (click on classics and music)...Saturdays at 11-1p. They usually do the northwest schedule of events during the hour break at 12. I checked already, and there is no KPBX kids concert that weekend, and that is a real shame, those things are wonderful.
Safe Travels,
~Jen

Hi Mark Ross; you won't remember me, but I was your chauffeur in Chicago for the Haymarket Centennial -- have you been on the list long? -- MAG

There was an old fellow in Butte
Who would frequently go on a toot.
He'd proceed to Spokane,
And go straight from the train
To a house of distinct ill repute.

Mark, you aren't the same Mark Ross that recorded "Loafer's Glory" with Utah, are you? If so, I loved it.

Peter.

JenEllen, be sure and let me know when you are coming to Spokane. Maybe we can get together. Only an hour's drive for me.

I joined the Spokane Folklore Society, paid for a year and a half, and they haven't put me on their mailing list. Maybe that guy that wants his dad removed should forward it to me. Lately I'm hanging with the Bluegrass people--a nicer group one couldn't find, with a nice informative newsletter as well. I think Spokane is poised for a lively music scene, with lots of nonsmoking, nondrinking venues available (Rocket bakeries, Hastings, The Shop, Mother Goose), to name a few. I've attended both jams listed on the Spokanebluegrass.org webpage, and have been well satisfied. Brad Sondahl http://home.earthlink.net/~bsondahl

I'll plead guilty to both charges, Yer Honor, I was in Chi in'86 for the Haymarket Centennial and I did commit some aural crimes, preserved for posterior with the above-mentioned Utah. Hi to everybody,if you need to reach me my e-mail is [e-mail]
