For those of us who had to be in other places, does anybody have a report
from the OBA fundraiser Saturday night? Pretty good attendance? Most
members are right there in Portland, so...?

Western-world humans are no longer spontaneously cognizant of the Greek or Latin
number prefixes like dec-, or non-, or oct-, nor are they able spontaneously to
formulate in appropriate Latin or Greek terms the larger numbers spoken of by
scientists nowadays only as powers of ten. On the other hand, we are indeed
familiar with the Anglo-American words one, two, and three, wherefore we may
prefix these more familiar designations to the constant illion, suffix which we
will now always equate with a set of three successive zeros.

Victory Music is pleased to present the “Kings of Mongrel Folk”, in concert



Orville Johnson and Mark Graham, the mongrel kings themselves, offer a
northwest semblance of royalty and music in wry humor, soulful blues, hot
pickin', and savory vocals.  Mark plays harmonica and clarinet, and Orville
chimes in with guitar and dobro.  Each come together with great harmonies,
unparalleled humor, and a diverse fusion of styles from Mississippi blues, R
& B and jazz leanings, to fiddle tunes and songs with American and Celtic
flavorings.

These guys are active in the regional music scene, have played in numerous
groups over years, and have both been on Prairie Home Companion.  They tour
together, nationally and internationally.  Orville is oft thought of as a
player’s player, whose skills are steeped in many styles.  He teaches
workshops and private lessons, produces, and has been on many albums.  Mark
writes a humorous slice of life into songs many of which have been recorded
by others.  Join us for a captivating evening.

Hi Bluegrass Friends,

Just a note to let you all know about Folklife's upcoming Americana Dance
Party/CD Release at the Tractor Tavern.  Bluegrass power trio Armstrong Lawton
Katz (http://www.myspace.com/armstronglawtonkatz) will open the show, and square
dancing and country two-step dancing will be taught and enjoyed.  Details
below...


Northwest Folklife Presents:

CD Release AND Americana Dance Party at the Tractor Tavern
Sunday, November 22, Doors open at 6pm, Show at 7pm,
$8 (CDs will be $10)
The Tractor Tavern in Ballard

We’re proud to release the first CD in our new series of recordings, Northwest
Roots & Branches, Volume I.  The 13 stellar tracks are drawn from hundreds of
live recordings made at this year’s Northwest Folklife Festival. The CD
features Folklife favorites like master Irish fiddler Kevin Burke, Jamaican
legend Clinton Fearon, the fab fiddling of Rebecca Lomnicky and the world’s
foremost exponent of 8-bit chiptune music, Sabrepulse.  The CD also features
up-and-comers you need to know about, like the old-school bluegrass of
Armstrong, Lawton & Katz, the deep country old-time of RedDog, Zoe Muth with
sweetest twang in Seattle and the indie reggae sounds of Trolls Cottage.

True to the spirit of Folklife, this CD Release Party is also a Dance Night! 
Charmaine Slaven of the Tallboys will call a square dance with RedDog & Squirrel
Butter.  Rockin’ Horse Dance Barn will teach y’all the country two-step, and
Americana darling Zoe Muth will let you put those steps to good use. 
Indie-roots group Amateur Radio Operator will close out the evening.

Mark your calendars!!

2010 Fiddle Tunes Registration Begins Soon

Posted: 08 Nov 2009 09:18 PM PST

Registration will begin for the 2010 Festival of American Fiddle Tunes
in mid-November. As always, it's first come, first served - and the
'09 Festival sold out - so stay tuned

Please note, that the '10 gathering runs July 3-10, 2010. That's
Saturday-Saturday, which is different than most years. We are doing
this in order to be able to produce our usual 4th of July show for the
community while assuring a premium workshop experience.

The Festival of American Fiddle Tunes provides an opportunity to be in
community with the bearers of fiddle traditions.

The goals of the gathering are broader than improving your skills as a
musician, and include discovering culture through music, learning
music in a cultural context, and building lifelong relationships in
the fiddle music community.

Now in its 34th year, “Fiddle Tunes” is a week-long, total-immersion
workshop with a hallmark of presenting an expansive array of regional
fiddle styles. Workshops, classes, band labs, tutorials, dances,
concerts, singing, open jams, hat parties – all contribute to a week
of living, learning, and jamming with masters of North American
fiddling traditions

would think that Cherryholmes would be traveling with a sound person these days,
but with the economy being what it is, perhaps that's just too many mouths to
feed. kenc

Holy cow! There was Stew and his sis, Janet Martin, my old friend. They were
being interviewed about their grandmother, Mary Dodge, who I only knew
through legend. The show is The Sagebrush Symphony on OPB-TV. It will
repeat, and maybe they will archive it. Its a fascinating tale, about the
profound effect Mary Dodge had on music in Oregon. Heck, Stew, you looked
sober.

Bill

Oh it was the sound...I thought it was the male singing.

This is just a reminder that our November Slow jam will be this Saturday on
November 14 at the Hope Grange.  The slow jam will start at 1 pm.  The "Tune
of the Month" song is  "Turkey in the straw" which can be downloaded from my
website at:
