Here's a reminder regarding the house concert a week from Friday at Steve
Kenworthy's house in Modesto.
This is a chance to hear a master of sea shanties and other folk songs in an
intimate setting. We'll be serving wine, juice, and other snacks.
If you are planning to attend we would very much appreciate an RSVP to help
us plan for refreshments and seating.
Tim Graffhams e-mail is given below or you can RSVP to me.
