The last folk music item was frozen due to old age, so here's a fresh one.
Maybe we can rope Twila in here while M-net is down.

The Poozies, DANSOOZIES: Second album from a quartet of women
who play an unusual grouping of instruments: 2 harps, accordion
and guitar. Singer-songwriter Sally Barker usually sings the lead,
the other three women sing lots of harmonies. There are a couple of
traditional Gaelic songs, a few tune sets, some nice covers, a
few original pieces. Unfortunately their business plan calls for
ignoring the USA completely, so one would have to dig to find
a copy of this.
The band's accordion player, Karen Tweed, is featured on a duet album
with Ian Carr (ex-Kathryn Tickell) called SHHHH; just got that
in the mail today, so I can't review it yet.

For all folk music fans... does anyone have Trout Fishing in America's latest?
I'd love to hear a review...

Sunday's Ann Arbor News previewed the Celtic Music series coming up
this week at the Ark, Tuesday-Thursday. I'm a little lukewarm about
Wolfstone, but they have gotten the most enthusaistic audience
response of anyone I've ever seen at the Ark. If you go, bring earplugs.
Wolfstone is essentially a rock band with bagpipes and some traditional
songs and tunes. We'll probably go see Moving Cloud, simply because
we know almost nothing about them.

Right now I'm playing the album from Breton band Pennou Skoulm,
who are mostly the Breton members of the old Scottish/Breton band
Kornog. Very nice if you like that squeaky-honky French/Breton
sound -- lots of Breton bagpipe.

it's David Bowen, NOv. is Yours Truly, then in successive months, Five
Guys named Moe, Espresso, and some others I've forgotten.

One Friday each month, there is a coffee house concert performed at
FUMC Green Wood, 1001 Green Rd, near Glazier Way. Dessert and coffee
are available, and artists, some well-known Ark regulars, some not
so well-known, provide music. The event is sponsored by First United
Methodist Church of Ann Arbor, and admission is usually $5 to $8, considered
a donation. This is not a church function, for those of you who are
"churchophobes."
Please come hear me on Nov 15!

Hey, don't go making fun of us "churchophobes". We can't help it.
About six or seven years ago John and I decided to attend a
Unitarian Church service, just to see what they were all
about and hear a friend of ours perform. Now, this would
have been the first time I'd been in a church, for a service,
since I was maybe 12 or 13. On the way I had to gas-up the
car. And wouldn't you know it the gasoline gushed back out
of the inlet, spraying my coat and shoes, turning me into
a Molotov Cocktail with a heartbeat. Needless to say we
didn't make the service.
Sometimes, fate taps you on the shoulder, and gives you fair
warning. ;-)

Now we know what's really causing all those church-burnings -
people who spill gasoline on their shoes and decide to go to
church anyway. >8)
