Subject: Laurie McClain & Karen Mal. Wed 12/7/2011 So Tpa House Concert






















Before moving on to Laurie & Karen, I’d like to let you know about a Dec 3rd house concert in Tarpon Springs featuring David Francey & Craig Werth. Details here: http://www.ourkindoffolk.com/home.php Last I heard
there were seats still available.

MOVING ON TO LAURIE McCLAIN & KAREN MAL:



Laurie & Karen will be at South Tampa House Concert (Westshore/Gandy area) on Wed Dec 7th. 7:30 doors. 8:00 concert.

I surely am hoping to round up an audience so I wont be all alone while experiencing an enchanted evening of music by these two enchanting musicians. (They ARE enchanting. Really! I’m not making this up.) Please let me hear from you with your RSVP’s. ($15 – $20 is the suggested donation – 100% of which will go to Laurie & Karen) I expect that they will do an in-the-round type concert – each one doing her own songs while being accompanied by the other – plus they will probably do some together as a duo.

[Ken & Alan's Picture] KEN PERLMAN & ALAN JABBOUR

Per English Dance & Song: .... Jabbour and Perlman together play as if controlled by two halves of the same brain....

Per Sing Out!: .... Jabbour and Perlman are among the most articulate musicians that old-time music has to offer.... Aside from their own distinctive talents as musicians, the fact that both have spent much of their careers as field collectors and observers enables them to understand the tunes as a vital part of the culture that produced them, and not just as cool pieces of music....

KEN PERLMAN has been performing on the folk circuit since the late '70s. He has toured internationally and is a pioneer of the 5-string banjo style known as Melodic Clawhammer. He is considered one of the top Melodic Clawhammer players in the world! Ken is also a master fingerstyle guitarist.

Per Bluegrass Unlimited: Ken's significant contribution to acoustic guitar styles should not be overlooked. He is adept at old-time blues, ragtime and just plain folk. His specialty is Celtic and Southern U.S. fiddle tunes arranged for fingerpicking. These tunes are played with a sparkling attack and active bass line, which gives them a sound that has been described as being reminiscent of Renaissance- and Baroque-era lute music.

ALAN JABBOUR was born in 1942 in Jacksonville, Florida. A violinist by early training, he put himself through college at the University of Miami playing classical music. While a graduate student at Duke University in the 1960s, he began documenting oldtime fiddlers in the Upper South. Documentation turned to apprenticeship, and he relearned the fiddle in the style of the Upper South from musicians like Henry Reed of Glen Lyn, Virginia, and Tommy Jarrell of Toast, North Carolina. He taught a repertory of oldtime fiddle tunes to his band, the Hollow Rock String Band, which was an important link in the instrumental music revival in the 1960s.

After receiving his Ph.D. in 1968, he taught English, folklore, and ethnomusicology at UCLA in 1968-69. He then moved to Washington, D.C., for over thirty years of service with Federal cultural agencies. He was head of the Archive of Folk Song at the Library of Congress 1969-74, director of the folk arts program at the National Endowment for the Arts 1974-76, and director of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress 1976-99. Since his retirement, he has turned enthusiastically to a life of writing, consulting, lecturing, and playing the fiddle.

KEN PERLMAN & ALAN JABBOUR: A NOT TO BE MISSED CONCERT!

phil lee "Combines the social conscience of Woody Guthrie with the twisted fury of Jerry Lee Lewis" Per Associated Press Music Critic


Phil Lee South Tampa House Concert


Sun Nov 6. 5:00 Doors. 5:30 Concert. $10 - $20 suggested donation for Phil. Send me your RSVP & I’ll provide the address, etc. (my cell – 813-625-2688)

GOOD NEWS: STILL LOTS OF SPACE FOR THE CONCERT


BAD NEWS: STILL LOTS OF SPACE FOR THE CONCERT.


I’m a HUGE Phil Lee fan. He’s at the top of my favorite musicians’ list. I know it’s a busy busy music weekend, but if you can squeeze in Phil’s concert, I think you’ll be happy you did. (and I'll be happy you did too. )


Phil Lee writes intelligent songs full of wit, humor and grace that blend sizzling Dylan-esque rock and roll, country and western, mid-sixties British Invasion and medicine show sounds that end up being utterly unique and sung in a voice that can shoot straight through to your heart. ..... (he also sometimes throws in a little bit of dancing.. a cool soft shoe)


Phil has never feared, personally or lyrically, to scamper out on a limb with a gleam in his eye and a

hacksaw in his hand


. Phil in fine form at The Mad Hatter’s Iced Tea Party


“ The Don Rickles of disenfranchised nashtwang...”


http://www.youtube.com/mightykingoflove


Phil Lee – one man, one guitar and a bag of great songs about love and death, misplaced faith, discarded spaceships, hard times - and the funny side of all that. Guaranteed to please!


“... stylistically versed, lyrically learned and immensely quick-witted...” Per Walter Tunis/The Musical Box Blog


"The Don Rickles of disenfranchised nashtwang strikes again...Lee presents himself as a lovable, if formerly dangerous, rapscallion. Skirting genre boundaries between rock, soul and country with his music and writing lyrics that knock right through walls of taste, decency and political correctness without ever landing him in a punk-rockish, spittin' for show camp." Per Peter Cooper, Nashville Tenessean, reviewing Phil’s Mighty King of Love .


Hows about a traveling mini-fest? Doors for the Phil Lee South Tampa House Concert is set for 5:00 with concert at 5:30. The reason for the strange timing is that Rod MacDonald will be in an early afternoon concert at the Jan Platt Library – which is about 8 minutes from the house . Rod’s concert begins at 2 & should be over by 4 - 4:30ish. http://tinyurl.com/3ryqp7m


If one were to so choose, one could attend Rod’s concert at the library & then drive down to the house and attend Phil’s concert. A great double whammy. Sounds like a swell idea to me!
