Hey, all --

I'm delighted to announce that the great Appalachian duo Beverly
Smith and Carl Jones will be coming to Pittsburgh for a weekend full
of great music!

On Friday, November 12, they will be playing for the regular Friday
night contra/square dance at Swisselm Park near Pittsburgh.

On Saturday morning, November 13, they will be performing live on the
Saturday Light Brigade on WRCT (88.3 FM).

Saturday afternoon, November 13, they will be offering fiddle and
mandolin WORKSHOPS from 2:00 to 4:00.

Saturday night at 8:00, they will be performing in a house concert
in Mt. Lebanon.

Carl Jones toured with Norman and Nancy Blake as part of the Rising
Fawn String Ensemble, playing mandolin, banjo, and fiddle. He often
plays as a duo with James Bryan, and is sometimes found pickin' as
part of a trio with Bruce Green and Don Pedi. Carl has been an
instructor at Pinewoods, Port Townsend's Festival of American Fiddle
Tunes, Mars Hill Old Time Week, and the Swannanoa Gathering. His
songs have been recorded by the Nashville Bluegrass Band, Rickie
Simpkins, and others.

One of the most respected guitar players in old time music today,
Beverly Smith is also in demand as a singer, fiddler, and dance
caller. She has made numerous recordings, backing up fiddlers Bruce
Molsky, Rafe Stefanini, Tara Nevins and Brad Leftwich, vocalizing
with Irish musicians Mick Moloney and John Doyle, and also singing
with bluegrass great Laurie Lewis. She has taught and played at many
camps and folk festivals and, in addition to her collaboration with
Carl, also plays with old time band The Rockinghams.

Together, Carl and Beverly have appeared on the traditional music
scene, at festivals, on record, at contests and dances, in various
bands and formations, playing just about anything with strings or
tossing in vocal harmonies wherever there was an opportunity.

For more information or reservations for the workshops or the
concert, please reply to this message, or call Curt or Annie at 412-
343-0498.

Looking forward to seeing you sometime during this great musical
weekend!

Annie Trimble
