Howdy Folks! We just have a few shows coming up to finish off the year. Hope to see many of you soon! First, a bit of sad news--Barefoot Annies shut the doors in October, so the wonderful music and fun times we had there are no more. We wish Kim the best of luck in her future endeavors! October ended in a very positive way for Marshall--he won first place in mandolin, third in guitar, and took home the special 'Face in the Crowd' award at Halloweenfest music competition in Brevard. In addition, we had a wonderful time seeing and playing with old friends, and getting to know some new ones. On November 14, we will be back at the Coffee Underground in downtown Greenville. So, come on out & join us! We're planning a few special door prizes to intice people to come on by. For those who are unfamiliar with it, it is at the corner of Coffee Street & Main, down the stairs. The music room is through the coffeehouse in the back On November 15, we'll be back at the Village Cup in Laurens, SC. We have always enjoyed our visits there and hope to reconnect with folks in that area. It's not on our regular calendar, but we're looking forward to playing as part of the "Community Band" at the contra dance at the YWCA on November 19th (Augusta St, Greenville). It should be a lot of fun both for the music and the dance! There will also be a benefit for the YWCA dance held at River Falls Lodge on Nov 29. We're not participating, but we hope those who love contra dancing will go out & support this worthy cause. The Blue Dawg String Band will be back at the Village Cup on December 13. And, we are pleased to be participating in the Yuletide Celebration at Hagood Mill. Come help celebrate the solstice and yuletide traditions from around the world. 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Happy Holidays!
