I was wondering if anyone *here* attends or teachers at SUNY New Paltz. I go there and I was looking for people to share my love of listening to and playing folk music.

(And lots of other stuff, but the bongos are what I can play folk on.) But I worry about the creepiness factor of playing with people less than half my age, so I haven't searched for fellow players in colleges. |

I just worry about appearing to be a creepy middle-aged single guy stalking youngsters. Also, I fear the obvious question: "You're nearly a half-century old and you can't play any better?" |

From: Charley Noble There really ought to be some younger generation types who attend the nearby Clearwater Revival Festival enrolled at New Paltz. Seems like that festival might be right up your alley. I have a niece there but she's a senior and probably wouldn't speak to anyone younger than herself, and she's only marginally interested in her uncle's traditional music. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

It's not right by you, but there is a nice folk music society in Hyde Park. PM me, if you'd like more info. I live in Copake, but date a man who works in New Paltz & got his master's degree from there. best, Barbara |
