[dcab-l] Film and Discussion with Arhoolie Records founder Chris Strachwitz and Folkways' Jeff Place

For any roots music enthusiasts. The Goethe Institute is a great place for this type of event, and the price is very reasonable. It is 2 blocks from the Gallery Place metro station.

Please join us Vietnam veterans and other peace loving people all around the world and TAKE THE PLEDGE: "I oppose the Pentagon campaign to re-write the history of the Vietnam War." http://www.vietnamfulldisclosure.org/

---------- Forwarded Message ----------
From: "Broadwater, Norma" <Norma.Broadwater@Washington.goethe.org>

Dear DC Bluegrass Union,

I wanted to reach out to you to let you know about a film and discussion we’re hosting here at the Goethe-Institut, the German cultural center, next Wednesday. We’re screening a documentary about the founder of Arhoolie Records, Chris Strachwitz. He’ll be in attendance for a discussion afterwards with Smithsonian Folkways’ Jeff Place. Chris’ influence on the world of roots music is legendary, and he is a very interesting person, as can be seen in the trailer for This Ain’t No Mouse Music!, which we’ve posted with our event announcement at http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/was/ver/en14225043v.htm.

It seems to me that there must be quite an audience in Washington who’d like to know about this rare opportunity to meet Chris and hear lots of great music in the film as well. And of course Jeff Place is also highly respected. I’d appreciate any help you might be able to provide in getting out the word.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

"The BanjerDan Show" with Special Guest: Panga!

Last Stage West BBQ, 15050 Morro Rd., Atascadero, CA 93422

http://laststagewest.net

"Panga's music boasts energetic melodies full of playfully-serious undertones, abstract views and a California way of life unique to the Central Coast. The trio's breakthrough album is an all-original sound that reflects an experimentalist's fusion of Acoustic Rock influenced by a grungy beach life & counter-culture Pop, as well as tastes of Reggae, Folk, Jazz, and Latin rhythms. Their vision is to inspire people to hop in their own hand-made panga boat, kick back with a beer & fully enjoy that feeling of nothing to do yesterday, today or tomorrow."

Calling for any and all folks who might like to compete in individual or band contests at the Loudoun Bluegrass Festival on Saturday May 9th! Email Tara if you want to pre-register or if you have any questions.

Also check out the workshops, led jam sessions, dance, and main stage acts for the quickly approaching Loudoun Bluegrass Festival. There is hopefully things there for many different interests- Irish, Old Time, Swing and Gypsy jazz, bluegrass, song writing, vocal, clogging, contests, etc.
As well as plenty of spaces inside and outside to make one's own jam sessions rain or shine. Bring a pickin chair and some instruments and have a fun day!

All just outside of Leesburg at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds (used to be called the 4-H Fairgrounds) on Saturday, May 9th.

Tickets are cheaper ahead of time off the website too, so might want to look into that idea too when you check out the schedules of Main stages and workshops.

[YEP-DC] May Breakfast Club on Saturday May 16

Hello YEP-DC Members!

We are back for our May Breakfast Club! On Saturday May 16, you are invited
to join us for our next networking and service event! This month, we will
be meeting at 9:45am at Only Make Believe DC, where we will volunteer from 10:00-12:00pm.
This will be followed by brunch at Busboys and Poets (both near the
Brookland-CUA Metro). Only Make Believe is a non-profit organization that
creates and performs interactive theatre for children in hospitals and care
facilities. As volunteers, we would be helping to prepare costumes and
props for future performances (no experience or supplies needed!).Please
only sign up if you can attend BOTH the service and brunch!

Space will depend on the weather and if there is a rain location (still
TBD). Register at:
