[Nfbmt] At Large Chapter Meeting this Saturday at 10:00 A.M.

I would like to change the meeting time so you wouldn't have such a time crunch to make it.  So far the people I've discussed it with haven't thought it should change, or couldn't think of a better time.  I still think we should discuss it as a chapter some time.  Joy

Hi Mister President Bruce B, and all.

I don't know yet if we can make the 10 o'clock meeting.
But I will try. We have a radio show tomorrow, and a concert tonight that I'm presenting. So it is a dynamic type of time management challenge at times.
I wish that some of you could drop on by tonight for the folk music. It sure would be good to have you here.
Speaking of that, below I paste the press release which appeared in today's Bozeman Daily Chronicle, entertainment magazine.
If anyone wants to read the whole paper, send me an email and I could share my paste up of today's paper. Someone else may as well reap the benefit of my pecking fingers.
Take care, everyone.

Rik

Golden Ring s Grey at Pilgrim tonight
   On Friday, Oct. 11, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. in the rich acoustic setting of the Chris Boyd Room at Pilgrim Church, 2118 S. Third Ave. in Bozeman, The Bozeman Folklore Society presents an evening of traditional folk and ballads and old-time music. Making her way back to Bozeman in a rare tour of the Northwest, Sara Grey will sing and perform a rich variety of music from the land of the Celts to Appalachia, on clawhammer banjo and guitar. The 
admission gate will open at 7     p.m. or will call tickets may be purchased 
in advance at Ticket River; there is a convenient link on the BFS website, www.bozemanfolklore.org/concerts.htm? . General admission is $17, with a $3 discount for BFS members, and $5 for children, ages 5-12.
Before she moved to Scotland, Grey was part of  The Golden Ring  with people like Ed Trickett and Gordon Bok. They were a well-known group of singers interested in traditional song. Grey is from the States but has been living in Scotland and briefly in England for the last 38 years. She has always been interested in the migration of songs across the Atlantic and it was as a result of a collecting trip to Scotland in1970 that she moved to the UK. 
She has been working closely with other traditional singers from Scotland and Ireland to look at the movement of Celtic songs and how they change. 
Some of the projects she has been involved in include a seminar in Alness, Ross-shire, Scotland looking at the culture of Travellers in Sutherland and the movement of their songs and stories to North America.
As Clive Pownseby, Organiser, Bothy Folk Club in Southport describes,  Sara Grey plays American music, as distinct from Americana. It is the real deal. 
Old-time ballads, cowboy songs and Primitive Methodist hymns are all grist to the mill. Sara s unique frailing banjo style is instinctive, and it sets her apart from many others. Heartfelt vocals are the icing on the cake and it s hardly surprising that she s no strangers to the Bothy Folk Club.  Visit the artist s website for audio and more information at www.saragrey.net? .
