Once a year our area hosts one of the
four regional folk gatherings for the international folk alliance which
happens yearly in Memphis in February. This past weekend at the Hudson
Valley Resort hundreds
from the world that supports and generates folk music gathered for a
conference. During a luncheon John McCutcheon began a sing along of
Soladarity Forever in honor of the great late, Utah Philips. One by one
performers linked up and joined voice.
During conferences like this and
in small venues and large across the nation, musicians learn each
others tunes and sing along all the time. I thought it would be fun to
create a folk loop show where each cut links somehow the one preceeding
it, and following it.

Chritine also organized a special gathering for Dave at the Bottom Line
when he was hospitalized wiht many of his good friends.
25.From Christine:
Last week at the Moab Folk Festival in Utah, John McEuen of "The
Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band" asked me to join in on the finale, "Will The Circle Be
Unbroken." He asked me to take a verse and I asked if I could
write a special one -- he
said yes, so this is what I sang. I recorded it when I got back
to NYC, and
now it's a free one-minute free download. One of the
singer/clappers is a
Republican, hence the name of the group. Though he didn't vote
for Obama, he
sees the wisdom of us all pulling together. Ciao! Christine
