NEWSYLETTER #37 2/13/10
Hey, Friends, Fans, Folkies, and long suffering Press Peoples,
Phil Shapiro here, of PHIL SHAPIRO AND CARRIE SHORE: the American Folk Tradition. Singing and playing American traditionally oriented folk music for almost eight years and close to 200 shows, and still having fun.
The days are indeed getting longer, and Phil Shapiro and Carrie Shore have seen their shadows, so it's time to come out of hibernation and play some music. We've been a bit quiet of late, but that's about to end.
During the quiet time we've worked out a couple of new songs, and resurrected a couple of songs that we used to play a long time ago. If you have a hundred year old song, and a fifty year old song, and you stop playing them for, say, five years, why, they're still good when you decide to bring them back into the repertoire.
Here are a couple of places we're gonna be. The show in Vestal is an annual event, and is a great way to spend a late Winter evening. It's the third time we've been invited. The show in Waterloo is a brand new venue for us, and sounds like a lot of fun.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 7 PM. The annual CABIN FEVER CONCERT at the VESTAL, NY, PUBLIC LIBRARY. 320 Vestal Parkway East (rt. 434, near the intersection with rt. 26). Free admission, open to all.

THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 7 PM. ACOUSTIC DESSERTS at the GRIDLEY INN, WATERLOO, NY. 36 West Main St. (Routes 5 and 20). Perry and Caren Cleaveland have been organizing this series for several years running, and it's known for being a great place to perform. The desserts and beverages are famous, and we'll be looking for some magic. Donation requested. Encourage us!! http://thegridleyinn.com . 315-539-5192.
Would you like us to play for you? You can organize your very own HOUSE CONCERT. If you can get 20 or so of your friends to cram themselves into your living room, we'll come play for you in your own home. It's great fun. Up close and personal. No sound system. Some of our very favorite evenings have been spent sharing music in this fashion. How 'bout it? Who's interested? We don't make a whole lot of money at house concerts, but we, and everybody, will have a big grin to share. Contact Phil, or check out the web site for more info.

And, friends and neighbors, is your CD collection complete? Well, we're having a lot of fun with our second live CD, the YOU'VE PLAYED WHERE? tour.
We're really proud of this CD. It's about half traditional music, half newer songs written squarely in the folk tradition, by a number of fine writers. For the first time, we've recorded one of Carrie's sparkling homemade waltzes, this one for a pair of good friends, Ken and Debra, on the occasion of their marriage. Yes, we've included Jean Ritchie's "Now is the Cool of the Day", and Woody Guthrie's "Do Re Mi", and a whole bunch of other good stuff. Some talk, too, of course.
