FOLK NOTES – March 1 -7
Here is a new feature – or rather an update of an old one! Below is the first edition of “Folk Notes”. Starting this week and appearing every Sunday (hopefully!), “Folk Notes” will be published to give you a guide for upcoming concerts and events for the upcoming week, plus a list of birthdays, anniversaries and dates of historical significance! Please let me know what you think. My intention is to keep this feature if there is enough interest. Enjoy!!
