Good morning,

I generally only send out one reminder per week regarding SFS concerts.  However, I thought this was worth sending.

Last night, Joe and Tony had a concert in Portland.  Bill Murlin, a folk musician, radio DJ, and person well-known throughout the country, in the world of folk music, attended the concert, and sent this to share with Seattle folks.

For those who may be on the fence regarding the Joe Hickerson/Tony Saletan concert, I suggest you go.  Especially if you are interested in folk music history as these two guys know their stuff.  Likely you have already seen their credentials in other messages but what they bring together is the love and fun of the music from times before, during and after the "great folk music era" of the 1960s.  Do you know the history of Kumbaya?  Michael Row the Boat Ashore?  Where Have All the Flowers Gone?  Can you sing the original version of Where Have All the Flowers Gone? These two guys are part of that history.  They also bring some great old labor songs and songs that are just fun.  It'll be a night of singing great old songs, kind of like camp, sitting around the fire doing all the old favorites with Joe on the guitar and Tony on guitar, long-neck banjo and even an electronic keyboard.  You'll even learn songs backwards.  Nothing flashy in this show but there are many well presented songs with good histories and stories.
