I'm delighted to announce that banjo maestro Clarke Buehling will be
back in Pittsburgh this month, performing in a house concert in Mt.
Lebanon, PA, on Wednesday, October 26 at 8:00 P.M.

Clarke Buehling is internationally known for old-time banjo and
string band music from jigs to rags. Much of his material is based on
his collection of 19th century banjo, mandolin, and violin sheet
music-including some that belonged to Thomas Edison.

Clarke has performed across the U.S. and in Europe, and he was
recently the featured banjoist in a trio performing the works of
Stephen Foster at Carnegie Hall. He is the founder of the American
Banjo Fraternity Orchestra, and he has several of his own recordings.
The leader of the premiere concert string band the Skirtlifters, who
have produced several albums and toured Europe last year. I hear that
Clarke has a new solo album out. See his website at
http://www.theskirtlifters.com.

Clarke will also be offering a workshop in minstrel style banjo or
old-time fingerstyle (parlor style) on the afternoon Sunday, October
30.

For information or reservations for the Wednesday night concert, the
Sunday workshop, to arrange for private lessons, please reply to this
email or call Annie or Curt at 412-343-0498.

Hope to see you there--those of you who came to hear this man last
year will know that you're in for a very entertaining evening!
