Howdy Corfidders . . .

Having just been sparked by Janice (thinking I was gonna read about Elko, NV,) I figure it'd be a good time for us to post about the Music Scene in our parts of the globe.

As Nancy Griffith said: Other Voices - Other Rooms.

Since, unlike Brother Johnny Fowles, we can't all travel show-to-show w/ Gord, let's see what gems pop up for us to share and discover.

Down San Diego & Janice's way- in Lakeside - John Stewart will be at Jimmy Duke's House Concert on 20 Nov. We hope to be there (here that MHP?)

Here in the OC/LA area there are some fine venues to check on for eclectic music: McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica and The Coffee Gallery in Alta Dena come to mind first.

McCabes often hosts John Stewart, Peter Case, and many of those beloved singer/songwriters we cherish. Just a bit ago I saw Ian Tyson at McCabes - MIGHTY!

John McKuen is coming to The Coffee Gallery soon. It's a little bitty place (holds 41) and as intimate as you can get.

Both McCabes and The Coffee Gallery feature "name" folks and "free-range" folks (my kinda stuff.) Both also have web sites.

So, from San Diego to Santa Monica the music is alive and vital - very often from people we didn't know we loved till we heard 'em.

Next . . .
