It's Aug 12-14 in East Lansing, Michigan, and it looks pretty good: Hawaiian, Cajun, Klezmer, Celtic, Bluegrass, Gospel, Scandinavian, Chinese, Contra Dance and more...

Cool Beans-

Could you say a bit more about some of these acts. The only one I'm familiar with, and she is a must see as a traditional but young Southern Appalachian singer, is Elizabeth LaPrelle.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

George Kahumoku, excellent Hawaiian slack key guitarist. Calvin Cooke, Detroit master of "sacred steel" --gospel steel guitar. And I agree with you about Elizabeth LaPrelle. I haven't heard the other acts but the festival organizers are very discerning.
