[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.

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,
