Hey, All --

I know some of you are on several of my lists, so please forgive the duplicate
messages.

Just a reminder that the great Appalachian duo Beverly Smith and Carl Jones are
coming to Pittsburgh for a weekend full of great music. They excel in great
old-time harmony singing, as well as being very talented multi-instrumentalists.
These guys have some REALLY impressive credentials (see below). Here's the
schedule:



Friday, November 12: 8:00 PM, contra/square dance at Swisselm Park

near Pittsburgh.



Saturday, November 13: 10:00 AM, Live on the Saturday Light Brigade

radio show, WRCT 88.3-FM.



2:00 - 4:00PM, Fiddle (Beverly) and

Mandolin (Carl) workshops



8:00 PM, House Concert at the home
of

Curt Cooper and Annie Trimble 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 at one of these great musical events!



Annie Trimble
