I attended a concert in 1989 in Dayton, Ohio --- a world-wide tour of "Masters of the Folk Violin."
This tour included Seamus Connolly, Claude Williams, Michael Doucet, Joe Cormier, Kenny Baker, Claude Williams, and Alison Krauss, then aged 16 years.
She was just as approachable and modest when I met her after her 1992 concert at Chicago's Olde Towne School. A great lady. Thanks for posting the video.
That little button in the left column, above the Dougster will open a chat room. Right now it's a freebie and, to quote Otto, "Sucks eggs." It is functional however and has some fun features. I'll be upgrading it shortly so we can open separate rooms and see chat history. (And get rid of the ads) If there's enough interest it can be upgraded further to something like the Arena short form that we had envisioned. One window for the combatants and another for the crowd. If you're just stopping by, leave a comment so I can gauge the level of interest.
Mark William Paules is a high school teacher. That's his day job. But he is, first and foremost, a patriot. In a rare attempt to combine these two avocations, he made this appeal "I need 20 copies of "Silent America" for my classroom. The school is broke, but I think we can raise the money right on a thread if you're willing. How about a pledge week for Mr. Paules' classroom?" To that end, we have started the MPC ("Mr Paules' Classroom") pledge drive. Please use the paypal button on the left sidebar to donate. To keep things on the up and up, I will note all donations in comments to this post. If you wish to remain anonymous, please say so in the "description" field of your donation. If you make a donation and don't see it noted in the comments please let me know. daddyquatro_at_gmail_dot com. Can we do it! Yes we can!
