Did you notice...

the ever growing canon of musicians, not just in the posts, but being added to the flier which is the picture there...  Yes, I just put a new version up, since I learned that Sabra Guzman will be there too!!

If you follow the blog, you'll be the first to know!

So, a little more on the day, there will be, along with a mind boggling array of music and dancing and music, a silent auction featuring all manner of fantastic things!

Body work, custom made clothes, bicycle repairs, commissioned dances, baked goods, music, lessons and workshops...

Speaking of workshops, I heard a rumor that there were going to be some workshops available on the day, on site, so...

buy a ticket, pack your shoes, ax and 16 hour energy drink...

Also - this event *may* be partially sponsored by an excellent microbrewery in Pittsburgh, just sayin'

More! Attention Old Time Music Lovers...

I promised more, and this morning I open my email to find that world class old time clawhammer banjo player of Hotpoint Stringband fame Hilarie Burhans will be joining us, and she's bringing current Great Big Taters band mate, fiddler Jane Rothfield!  And for good measure(s), they're bringing guitar and bass man extraordinaire Allan Carr.

WOW

I don't know where we're going to fit every one, but after scoping out Ballroom Blum - conveniently attached to the large, lovely and comfortable home of the Blums - we figured out we can have two live jams in the (two separate!) rec rooms and one upstairs in the living room SIMULTANEOUS with dancing in the ballroom!

Makes my head spin...

So, you do not want to miss what is shaping up to be the single most amazing old time pajama party ever!  Get a ticket today! See the panel over there on the right for info.

New Beefy Line-up
