Peter Lehndorff will highlight October 3 Song & Story Swap

Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley
Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.

Saturday, October 3 , 7:00-9:30 p.m. at the The Nacul Center, 592 Main St.,
Amherst, Mass (see map).

Guest performer at the October 3 Song & Story Swap will be singer-songwriter
and Signature Sounds recording artist Peter Lehndorff .

Once called "skewed" by the Springfield Union News, Peter Lehndorff
considers it a compliment.

He writes stand-up folk: humorous songs about everyday life. His off-beat
songs poke fun at things we generally overlook: our cars, what we eat, where
we live and the things that most normal people are too afraid to admit they
are afraid of.

His CD, Love on the Line was released by Signature Sounds Recording Co. and
includes "Yellow Datsun", a duet with Dar Williams. Another cut, "Peugeot,"
is featured on CarTalk Car Tunes: Disrespectful Car Songs.

Peter has been included on three Folk Next Door CD compilations. He was a
finalist in the Boston Acoustic Underground competition.

Said Dwight Thurston of WWUH, Hartford: "His lyrics are wry, but have an
honest, lived-in, everyday quality. Lehndorff's not a wise guy, but a man
with a keen sense of what is both weird and touching in our shared human
experience."

More information about Peter Lehndorff is available at his web site,

The warm-up theme this month is Black

The Song & Story Swap is open to the public, free of charge with donations

Hi Jeff,

Regretfully, it turns out that we won't be able to make it there tonight. It sounds like a fun night and we hope to make it next time.

We'll look forward to seeing you soon,though!

Well Wishes,
Nina
