hello everyone. i know it's been a while since i posted on here. i feel so out of the loop, its not even funny. well, for those who know me, i got married about a year and a half ago and ended up moving to georgia. married and sailor boy, a submariner to be exact which has taken me away from my musical holy land. anyway, if there is anyone on here who knows of any kind of trad or folk scene down here in the southern georgia/jacksonville, fl area, please let me know. i am starving for good music here. i was blessed with a concert by the tannahill weavers a couple of months ago which was amazing but that was the first taste of trad i had had in months.
i hope everyone is well and i miss you all very much.

Hello Chantey chick.

Sorry. I don't know anything at all about the music scene in southern Georgia or the Jacksonville, Florida area.

But, I wanted you to know that I wish you good music and good friends in the new year-both in cyberspace and otherwise.

Think of the glass as half full and not half empty-at least you're not freezing cold where you are as I am ;0))

Peace,
Azizi

Steph, I am not much help as although I am in Georgia, it is about 375 miles north on the Tennessee border. I think there a few catters in the north Florida area, though and I am sure they will contact you as soon as they see your post. jimmyt

you can always go to the members info area and locate catters..
there are none listed in Georgia, but 5 in florida.
not all the members are listed, only those who submit their info..
good luck.

Hi Steph

Congratulations on your marriage & it's good to hear from you again. Sorry that you've been musically stranded on the shore. I believe there's a maritime museum somewhere near Beauford NC (I don't have a clue how far that's from you). They might be able to point you in the direction of Simon Spaulding a singer & fiddler who would be able to point your nose towards sea music in that streach of the coast. I believe you met him when we hooked up for the shanty festival in San Fransico a few years back. If he's still in the area he'd also have a pretty good idea of any news about the activities of tall ships that may happen on by. You might get those sea legs going again. Give my love to Mom & Sis, haven't seen them in awhile & all my best to you.

Love, Barry

Hi, Chanteychick -

It's not too far to go to the Florida Folk Festival in May. I've been there, and really enjoyed it.

The Will McLean Festival is in March; and the South Florida Acoustic and Folk Festival comes up in mid-January (don't know anything about that one). The Gamble Rogers Festival is at the end of April, in St. Augustine.

You're also not too far from Merlefest in Wilkesboro, NC - held late in April. Friends who have attended Merlefest say it's extraordinary.

There's also the Charlie Poole Music Festival in Eden, NC - late in May. I've heard this one is extremely good, too.

OK, Steph - so stop complaining already, and get out and do some music!!

Hi Steph!

Thanks for calling - in addition to my normal weirdness, I'm recovering from a nasty e-mail virus which erased my whole address book. Slowly reconstructing, but bleah!

I miss you! Wish I had Southern resources for you. I do know that the Georgian women, they got a sweet jelly roll...

Keep after these fine people. They'll hook you up.

Hope I see you soon! (Finn too!) Visit NY? Cyril Tawney says:

etc.

Much love,
