We played on the same stage as Ran Off the Rooster (a terrific all-female bluegrass trio), Vic Anderson's High Country Cowboys (Vic really knows Cowboy music!), Reintarnation (more terrific bluegrass!), Two Girls and a Tenor (a trio doing songs from the 40's), and Elk Hollow (a folk quartet you'll really enjoy). A second night on April 8th featured Brad Fitch and the TropiCowboy Band.

Would you like to join the Beacon Sloop Club?" Pete Seeger, that humble but great activist, musician, and husband of the great organizer Toshi Seeger, explained that the Sloop Club costs next to nothing to join, and was dedicated to the health of Beacon Harbor and the Hudson River. They are but one local arm of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a great advocate for the whole Hudson River system and the sustainability of Mother Earth. Come join us at the river!

1 Westerly Rd., Ossining, New York 10562Rescheduled from July 8 (a long story). We performed for Ferry Sloops in Ossining, and got some rave reviews from two people at the Bardavon for Seegerfest the next night: "This is great, but your performance last night was magic!". Ferry Sloops is a stalwart organization that has worked for all of we watershed stakeholders in the Hudson Valley for many decades. We provided an eclectic mix of some tunes we've collected and other tunes we've crafted ourselves. This show was open to the public.

This was our very last show before Steve's thumb was rebuilt by genius surgeon Dr. Charles Melone. We enjoyed singing for an attentive crowd ... still, there were questions ... would we ever play again? Now we know that after a lot of work, Steve's fretting hand is coming on strong! Whoopee!!
