Howdy, folks....

The New Haven Folk Festival is this weekend, featuring Bruce Cockburn, Eliza Gylkyson and the Arrogant Worms. Saw Mr. Cockburn at Toad's in the 80's with Steve the Bod, but lost track of him recently; the Arrogant Worms placed Christmas Turkey Blues on 2001's Johnny K's Got the Blues This Christmas CD.

Preston, CT hosts the 1st annual Strawberry Park Folk Festival with Kris Delmhorst, Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem, the Kennedys, Richie Havens, Janis Ian and Jonathan Edwards (who may or may not be laying around the shanty, mama, putting a good buzz on).

Thanks to niece Kelly for this heads up:
Just in case you didn’t hear about it, there is a benefit concert this Saturday night at (Southington) Rec Park. It’s to raise money for lights on the soccer fields. The band that is a Beatles cover band called Number 9. They were practicing last night at the First Congregational Church. We were there last night for a preschool meeting and they sounded really good. I was thinking of you and Dad when I heard about it, but he works on Saturday nights. I’m not sure but I think that the concert starts at 5 and they are playing until around 10pm.
