NEWSYLETTER #50

 

Hey, Folkies, Fans, Press Peoples, and anyone else who gets this,

 

My gosh, this is the fiftieth Newsyletter.  I bet we’ve played a few shows over the years.  Well here’s a fun one:

 

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2017.  MONTOUR FALLS LIBRARY, 406 West Main Street, Montour Falls.  We’re coming back, because we had a lot of fun last time.  What a nice bunch of folks, what a fine place.  Come join us in the live audience, and, even better, sing with us.  Admission is $10.  It starts at 6 pm, early enough to bring the whole family.  montourfallslibrary.org .

 

And here’s a bit of a heads up.  On Friday, April 7^th , we’ll be at the DEANE CENTER in Wellsboro, PA, 7:30 pm.  Details later on…

 

We being: Phil Shapiro and Carrie Shore, the American Folk Tradition, playing thoroughly obscure songs with great choruses, old songs and not-so-old, for over 200 shows, all over.

 

Carrie plays wonderful fiddle, I play guitar, and we both sing.  And so, we hope, do you.

 

Hope to see you, and sing with you.

 

Phil (and Carrie)

     And, friends and neighbors, is your CD collection complete?  Well, we're having a lot of fun with our second live CD, the YOU'VE PLAYED WHERE? tour.

    We're really proud of this CD.  It's about half traditional music, half newer songs written squarely in the folk tradition, by a number of fine writers.  For the first time, we've recorded one of Carrie's sparkling homemade waltzes, this one for a pair of good friends, Ken and Debra, on the occasion of their marriage.  And they’re still married!!  Yes, we've included Jean Ritchie's "Now is the Cool of the Day", and Woody Guthrie's "Do Re Mi", and a whole bunch of other good stuff.  Some talk, too, of course.

 

If you don't catch us at a show, but want some for presents, or just for yourself,

you can order the new CD

"the YOU'VE PLAYED WHERE? tour"

or the first CD

"the American Folk Tradition -- LIVE"

by mail.  $15 per CD, plus $2 per ORDER postage and handling, to Phil's address, below.
