He said that an old man liked the tune so well that he wanted it played all night at his wake. So banjo players sat up and traded the banjo around and accommodated him. Lee couldn't remember the dead man’s name. This is why he called it ‘the Dead Man's Piece’." - Dwight Diller from “Obscure Underground Clawhammer Banjo from Mysterious Central West Virginia.” The Hammons Family played music for generations along the Williams River in West Virginia, preserving some distinct and powerful old music We play this one as a duet with the Sanshin, ancestor of the more familiar Shamisen. The sanshin is Japan's banjo and has Chinese origins. The US banjo has West African origins. Below is a link to Dwight Diller performing this tune. Walking In the Parlor: Banjo: gCGCD, Guitar: Standard We play Lee Hammons’ version. “Probably something like an old ‘playparty song’. It does have words that go along with it. Something like: “Walkin in th’ parlor, walkin in th’ring, walkin in th’parlor to hear the banjo ring; ………”. Dwight Diller. �Abe's Retreat > Yew Piney Mountain: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD Both are Dwight Diller's banjo arrangements. Abe’s Retreat is loosely based on the fiddling of Emory Bailey, Played in his slow and steady clawhammer style. Uses a tuning with a deep bellow that Dwight called Low G. Refers to the first Battle of Bull Run, the first major battle of the US Civil War. And the first retreat for the Union Army. Yew Pines are a type of Red Spruce. “The “yew pine,” for the old mountain people around here, was the ‘red spruce’ which grows at approximately 4000’ and above. The Wright Bros used ‘yew pine’ red spruce boards in their ‘airship’ while building it down at Kitty Hawk back in about 1903.” Dwight Diller. Abe’s Retreat – Emory Bailey fiddle Abe’s Retreat – Dwight Diller banjo Yew Piney Mountain – Dwight Diller banjo Shady Grove: Banjo: gDGCD, Fiddle: GDGD Frankenstein tune using two version of an old melody called Shady Grove. Instrumental section comes from banjo master Wade Ward of Independence, Virginia. Born in the late 1890's and having a sharp striking attack in his signature clawhammer style. The singing part is based loosely on the banjo playing of Doc Watson. �Shady Grove – Doc Watson banjo. Shady Grove – Wade Ward banjo Speed of the Plow: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD Tune from East Kentucky fiddler John Morgan Salyer, who was recorded at home by his kids in the early 40's. Yew Piney Mountain - Lester McCumbers: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD Lester was a monster player from Nicut, WV. He played some slow, groovy, crooked tunes with the fiddle tucked into his shoulder. �Brown's Dream: Banjo: gGDGD, Fiddle: GDGD From the Roan Mountain Hilltoppers of Tennessee. Family string band with a driving country sound. Somehow wound up receiving a visit from the Sex Pistols during the punk band's disastrous US tour in the late 70's. One of a family of tunes named after the famous abolitionist John Brown. "John Brown dreamed the devil was dead", as Round Peak, North Carolina fiddler Tommy Jarrell would shout over the tune.] Greasy Coat: Banjo: gDGCD, Fiddle: GDGD A Hammons tune from a digerent interpreter, closely following folk revival fiddler Lisa Ornstein's playing. Lot of debate in the old-time community on what exactly the title refers to. Greasy Coat - Andy Cahan, Laura Fishleder, Lisa Ornstein Old Greasy Coat – Edden Hammons � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Freight Hoppers to Headline Saturday Night AFTM is hosting our third string band festival October 17th, 18th and 19th at Camp Ben McCulloch across from the Salt Lick. This is a beautiful campground with shade trees, a creek, and all the facilities for a magical time. Gates open at noon on Friday, October 17. The Freight Hoppers are headlining this year. Witness the infectious groove of fiddle and banjo driven by David Bass and Frank Lee. These guys set a new benchmark on the circuit back in the mid '90s. When the band took a rest in 2002 many wondered if that hallmark sound would be heard again. Now, Lee and Bass are back and have brought in Thomas Bailey on guitar and vocals and Isaac Deal on upright bass and vocals. With the two original members reunited and joined by Bailey, whose powerhouse baritone vocal range enriches the sound, and Deal, whose ardent high lead and tenor voice holds the line and traverses the music's authentic spirit, a string band has been created to rival the best that ever kicked up dust. We're also hosting the muchheralded young fiddling phenomenon, Ruby Jane Our festival wouldn't be complete without multiinstrumental virtuoso Sarah Jarosz playing and singing her unique blend of hot picking and sensitive tunes We've also got a bunch more great Texas talent to play and conduct workshops for you. We want everyone to bring their banjos, guitars, fiddles, mandolins and other instruments - sit under the trees and jam, sing, dance, eat, and otherwise live it up. We've got some great musicians on stage, but we want everyone to get in on the act! We'll have some kind of fun for everyone. The festival will help ensure that traditional string band music prospers as a vibrant form of musical expression from one generation to the next. –continued on page 4 For admission information, directions, and a complete schedule of performances and workshops, see pages 3-4.

See you on the dance floor! 6 October 2008 Central Texas Bluegrass Association’s 30th Anniversary Celebration Bearfoot at the Cactus Cafe, November 15th The CTBA was born at an initial membership convention on January 22, 1978 (at what is now the County Line restaurant on the hill) making this our 30th anniversary year and we have decided that we'd better commemorate it before the year is over. For this special occasion, we decided to do something different. We're bringing Bearfoot, an exciting young fivepiece band fromAlaska, to the Cactus Cafe on Saturday evening, November 15. CTBA members get in free! Bearfoot was formed in Anchorage in 1999, when the six members were just teenagers. In 2001, they won the Telluride band contest, and you may have seen them last spring at the Old Settlers Music Festival. I saw them play a couple of years ago at the Folk Alliance convention here in Austin, and along with the Biscuit Burners, they were the highlight of the meeting. Although the band hails from Alaska, they spend most of the year touring in the lower 48. On October 11, they'll be at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and next year, they're booked at Wintergrass. We're lucky to have them here. With twin fiddles, mandolin, guitar and bass, and with vocals mostly featuring the women in the group, Bearfoot covers swing, singer-songwriter, bluegrass and Americana. Look in the dictionary under the entry for "sultry bluegrass torch singer," and you'll find a picture of fiddler Annalisa Tornfelt. If they do "Won't Be Long" at the concert, you'll see what I mean. Angela Oudean is the other fiddler. She's studied at East Tennessee State University, where she played with the Everybodyfields. Kate Hamre is a fiddler, too, but she plays bass in the band and is the band manager. Jason Norris has been picking the mandolin since he was 9 years old and it shows in his playing. He also plays guitar, fiddle, and bass. Mike Mickelson is the flatpicker, playing a 1948 vintage D18. Mike's style is deft, reminding me of several other young, really accomplished pickers like Chris Eldredge or Andy Falco. Bearfoot has released three CDs: "Only Time Knows" (2001), "Back Home" (2003), and "Follow Me" (2006). I've got the last two, and can testify you'll want to pick up copies at the show. Check the band's web page for sound clips. Members of the general public will be admitted with a low admission fee. See you there!

The emcee, I stepped up to the mike, scraped a couple of old-time tunes best I could solo, then called in turn the nine competitors, who each performed five-minute sets accompanied by choice of guitar, piano, banjo, mandolin, washboard, one even backed by a clogger whose stomps delighted the crowd more than any contestant’s bowing. A contra or square dance without caller? Couples mill the floor, overfill the odd set or wavy line as band members suggest mutiny, until some brave soul hollers for the man to bow to his own, swing her once and go on to the next, don’t forget a great big old bow to the one now met, swing her high, swing her low, and allow her, gent, to go back to her own, you the same as you balance that original dame, swing her quick and promenade her home, home, promenade her home, then you leave your own, go on to the next. So back to place, all. (Callers stir the music that stirs the hall.) Afterwards, a judge took me aside: they’d voted a champ the Juneau fiddler who’d attacked those Cajun numbers as Dewey Balfa once had. And you, she grinned, were a perfect lead-off – anyone out there would have thought they could jump up and play. Backstage, I gathered the musicians, announced the result. The winner split first prize money ten ways. Hellebores & Daffodils The Victorian and modern writings of Thomas Hardy and Paul Evans (Nature watch, The Guardian) will be performed at the Texas Book Festival on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 11 am. Presented by Darrel Mayers, and featuring Thom the World Poet, with folk music of the day by Nigel Jacobs, Jim Carpetas in Bucolics Anonymous. Comments Darrel Mayers: "This program was inspired by the two part series by Doug Wixson on the music associated with Thomas Hardy that appeared in Reel Times a few years back.

AFTM is hosting our fourth string band festival October 16, 17, and 18 at Camp Ben McCulloch across from the Salt Lick (directions below). Come enjoy great bands, fun jams, good food and top-notch workshops at this beautiful campground with shade trees, a creek, and all the facilities for a magical time. Gates open at noon on Friday, October 16. The Austin Lounge Lizards are the headliners this year. The Lizards' music is a belly laugh at life's absurdities with a style that features precise five-part vocal harmonies and instrumental mastery. Based in Austin, Texas, the Lizards have honed their music into a wicked-funny art form. They've delighted audiences from Texas to Trafalgar Square with their inventive style of satirical folk, country and bluegrass. Trademarks of a Lizards song are highly literate, sharply pointed lyrics that poke fun at politics, love, religion and the culture in general. The Lizards are five-time award winners at the prestigious Austin Music Awards, and their version of the Irving Berlin's "CU-B-A" was used in the Michael Moore film Sicko. The band has been featured by NPR's "Morning Edition" and on the radio programs "Mountain Stage" and "E-Town." THE DRUGS I NEED (released in 2006) is the Lizards' 10th album and their second on the Houstonbased Blue Corn Music label. Manuel "Cowboy" Donley is a featured performer we are proud to have on the schedule. A composer, arranger, and performer, Donley is considered a pioneer of Tejano music. While he does not have the mainstream recognition of some other Tejano musicians many old timers greet him with the ultimate sign of respect: Maestro. Donley was born in Durango, Mexico in 1928. He moved to Austin with his family at the age of seven and took an early interest in music, following the lead of his father, a classically trained violinist who once played with the Durango Symphony. In 1949, the 21-year-old Donley formed Los Heartbreakers, the first Mexican-American band to play rock & roll and rhythm & blues in Austin. But it was the orquesta music of the early Forties that captured Donley and led him in 1955 to form his own orquesta, Las Estrellas. Not content to simply reproduce what had been done before, Las Estrellas infused Mexican rancheras, polkas, boleros, and ballads with expressive horn arrangements, influences such as big band, rock & roll, and rhythm & blues. Over the years, Manuel has written music and arrangements for several movies, including Remember the Alamo in 1954, Los Imigrantes in the late Seventies, and local filmmaker Hector Galan's Los Mineros in the Eighties. We've also got a varied bunch of other great Texas talent such as the three generations of talented musicians in Mariachi Corbetas and the beautiful dulcimer music of the Wright family. Unfortunately we don't have the space to tell you more about all of them. See below for the complete lineup. Bring your banjos, guitars, fiddles, mandolins and other instruments – sit under the trees and jam, sing, dance, eat, and make merry. We've got some great musicians on stage, but we want everyone to get in on the act! We'll have some kind of fun for everyone. Help ensure that traditional string band music prospers as a vibrant form of musical expression. We'll have plenty of food and soft beverages, but BYOB. –continued on page 3 �Fire Ant Frolic Coming Soon!

He died suddenly in his sleep on August 14. Born in 1948, Nigel emigrated from Scotland to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada with his family in 1952. Nigel moved to Austin in the early 1980s to build a sailboat and wound up staying. He quickly became a part of the music scene. A self taught and accomplished singer, guitarist and fiddler he played with many of us over the years. He was a member of Ptarmigan and the Studebakers, with whom he recorded and played many gigs in and around Austin. Nigel had an innate and infectious warmth and friendliness that cheered everyone he met. A formal memorial service was held on August 22 with a party afterward with lots of music, food, and joy.

While growing up in South Africa, in the 1970's I listened a lot to the music of Thomas Mapfumo, whom Joel considers one of his first influences in this music. So, I was interested to find out more about how he got connected with Zimbabwean music and he agreed to do an interview by e-mail for Reel Times. Vanessa: Joel, could you tell us a bit about your musical background and how you first got interested in Zimbabwean marimba music? Joel: I first heard the mbira in 1992 while I was living in Taos, New Mexico. I was sitting next to the Rio Grande in what you would call an 'altered state'. I began hearing music all around me as I sat there. I was watching the eddies of water circling around and around as I heard this music make the same circular motion that the water was making. There was someone there playing the mbira. I immediately knew that I needed to learn how to play that music, so I asked the person what the instrument was. He told me it was an mbira. From that point, my life's course changed and I began traveling the US and Canada learning mbira from anyone I could find...oh, and I also went to UNT for Jazz guitar back in the 90's some time. Vanessa: For our readers, could you please explain the difference between the mbira and marimba. I noticed you played a little mbira at the beginning of the set. �Joel: The mbira is the traditional instrument played by the Shona people in Zimbabwe. It is well over 1000 years old. The marimba is a contemporary (to Zimbabwe) instrument that most resembles a xylophone. Vanessa:I heard that you have traveled to Zimbabwe and studied there. When were you there ? Who did you study with? Joel: I was there in 1998 and 19992001. I traveled all over the country playing and recording many musicians, but my main teacher is Newton Gwara-whom I had a band with there-and Chaka Chawasarira. Vanessa: What has been most challenging in learning the music, and in teaching it here? Joel: I was meant to play this music, so I think the challenges were more just finding the music in the first place. Probably the most challenging thing about teaching this music is trying to get the idea across of there being multiple rhythms and melodies being played simultaneously and there is no "one" that is more important than any other point within the cycle - try teaching that to a drummer! Vanessa:You sing in Shona, I think? Is it a difficult language to learn? Are the songs very old, or more contemporary? What are the lyrics about? Joel: Yes, the language is Shona. I think Shona is a difficult language, but very beautiful! People spend a large percentage of their time speaking in proverbs and using ancient sayings and even old forms of language, so that is very trickyeven to native speakers. Many of the songs are over 1,000 years old. I generally sing what I am thinking about at the time. Vanessa: Can one hear music like this played in Zimbabwe today? (Or, would it be more likely to be mixed with electric guitars, keyboards, synthesizers?) Joel: Mbira music can be played on any kind of instrument-the instrument doesn't matter - it's the structure of the music that is important. Vanessa: In the AFTM gig, you had a drum kit. Do you ever play African drums? Joel: Sure! Mbira is like three drums at the same time. ;-) Vanessa: Do you make your own instruments? Could you tell us about the process? What type of wood is used? Joel: I do build all the instruments. The soprano keys are usually Padauk and the baritone and bass are usually cherry if I have enough money. Vanessa: How do you transport all these large instruments to gigs? How long does it take to tear down/ set up for a gig? place within the cycle, but there is no overall starting point. It's like a bunch of clocks that are all overlaid on top of each other. There is no one important time, as long as they all agree on what time it is. Vanessa: If you lose it, or drop a beat, is it difficult at first to come back in? Joel: For some people it's difficult and for others not as difficult-it's all practice I guess. Vanessa:How are the marimbas tuned (e.g. to a western diatonic scale, or a pentatonic scale or an African scale?) Joel:The marimbas are all tuned to my matepe (the mbira that I play) It is a seven note scale but is not a western scale. Vanessa: Please tell us a bit about your plans for the future, gigs, teaching etc. Joel: My plan is to continue to expand Rattletree with more regional gigs. It's my job to play this music and spread the message of this music to as many people as I can. Joel: We have a trailer. It actually takes us less time than a regular rock band because everyone helps with all the instruments. We don't all have to wait around for one slow guy in the band. ;-) Vanessa: Thank you so much for taking the time to play at AFTM festival. We really enjoyed having you! Vanessa: Could you tell us a bit about the polyrhythms in the music? Is this difficult for most "westerners' to learn? How many polyrhythms are going at the same time? Joel teaches Marimba classes and also does workshops and demos. Please check out the Rattletree Marimba website and come to a gig. I am sure you'll enjoy it! (Great for all ages.) Joel: There are an infinite number going on. Unfortunately, this is probably the most difficult thing for Westerners to grasp. There is no "one". All the parts have to interlock with each other in a specific h t t p : / / w w w. m y s p a c e . c o m / rattletreeband http://www.rattletree.com Joel: Thank you!!!

I went to see the Cranky Show a while back and was hypnotized by the simple beauty of the handcranked back-lit spool of hand drawn images, the story/poems and music. I never thought such a primitive arrangement would be so entertaining! So, I had a conversation with Ethan Azarian to find out more about it. Ethan told me that cranky shows evolved in Europe. The show consists of a box with two handles that turn a spool of waxed paper left to right. The waxed paper is illustrated with a sequence of hand colored images illustrating the story, poem, or song that is being performed. The room is darkened and the illustrated waxed paper is back-lit with a 75-watt light bulb. Waxed paper is used because of its durability and translucency. The show requires a narrator, musical accompanists and a person to turn the crank. For the show I saw, Tom Azarian (Ethan's father) chose the material, drew the images with a magic marker, colored them with acrylic paint and acted as narrator. Ethan Azarian played banjo and the show included a guitarist and other musicians. The show featured Dangerous Dan McGrew, by Robert W. Service. Ethan says that examples of other shows they commonly perform are Big Rock Candy Mountain, John Henry, and Froggy Went A Courtin'. If you ever get the chance, go see this entrancing show! Note: Tom Azarian (also known as Tom Banjo) is a well known banjo player and entertainer from Vermont who has been performing cranky shows for some thirty years. You might see him at the Bread and Puppet Theater in Vermont. Ethan Azarian is a first-rate artist, old-time banjo player and guitarist living in Austin. In addition to performing in cranky shows he shows his art regularly and performs with local old-time bands. –Tim Wooten Trent Shepherd What's in Your CD Player? Jeanne DeFries has been asking various musicians around town what they have in their CD players and I guess it’s my turn. I usually listen to my ipod on “shuffle” for my commute – heavily oldtime and bluegrass with some exceptions – but on Thursday mornings I try to remember to tune in to the Heliocentric Hootenany on KVRX (91.7, 7-9am) for an electic take on new and old folk music. At work though I often throw a CD on and try to moderate the “dead guy” oldtime stuff for the sake of my colleagues. So here’s what’s been stacked up lately: The Renegades (Field Recorders Collective CD of their two cassette releases) Freddie King - The Shelter Records Years Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez Red Dog Tracks The Immortal Lester Young Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel Velvet Underground - Best of Ethiopians - Reggae Hit the Town Rural Alberta Advantage - Hometowns Bothy Band - 1975 Back Step - Rise and Bloom Again Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow Townes Van Zandt - At My Window Susan Werner - Time Between Trains Dexter Gordon - Our Man in Paris Rachel Eddy - Hand on the Plow Richard Thompson - Small Town Romance Having a Party with Jonathan Richman Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo Bob Dylan Greatest Hits Vol. II Sam Baker - Pretty World – Jerry Hagins January 2010 5 �Austin Friends of Traditional Music PO Box 49608 Austin, Texas 78765 See you at the AFTM Midwinter Festival, Saturday Jan. 23rd!

The Stairwell Sisters San Francisco's all-gal old-time teardown, THE STAIRWELL SISTERS, play a deep and rowdy repertoire of timeless tunes plus a solid standing of smart, original material that is winning praise on a national level. The Stairwell Sisters lay down concerts and square dances for counter-culturalist s everywhere, infusing the old music with intoxicating energy and soul. The stairwell has never sounded better. Producer Lloyd Maines recalls his first encounter with the band: "I happened upon this tribe of women musicians, playing old-time string music, with the power and excitement of a great rock band." http://www.stairwellsisters.com/ Their music turned people on and trail blazed the way for other successful string bands to follow their lead. The reshaped band will elaborate on their trademark sound by drawing upon their personal musical rapport to make a sonic hue that refracts their inspirations and love of Southern American, gospel, blues, punk and, folk music. A new album on Rounder Records is already in production and eagerly a waited. And so a new chapter begins and The Freight Hoppers ride again.... To hear a few of The Freight Hopper's tunes, visit them on the web at http://www.myspace.com/ thefreighthoppers When: Friday, March 26th Time: 8pm - 10pm Cost: $15 general admission $12 for AFTM members Location: Ruta Maya Coffee House, 3601 South Congress, Austin http://rutamaya.net/hourslocation.html The Freight Hoppers ride again! "There are certain string bands that everyone looks to in setting the bar high for musicianship, performance and showmanship and The Freight Hoppers deliver the goods. Their infectious high energy and bracing, uncompromising sound is what I look for in a band. I know their loyal and patient fan base including myself is glad they're back and we're very excited about seeing them perform again." - Jim Roe The RiceGrass Festival, March 27-28 in nearby Fischer, TX, will be featuring both these great bands plus Danny Barnes, Laurie Lewis & Tom Rozum, Alan Munde & Byron Berline, and many other great bluegrass/oldtime acts.

When he came to the States in 1969 to attend graduate school at Cornell University, he met Englishman Tony Barrand and a 35-year singing partnership began. Moving to Vermont after college, the two became fast friends with Margaret MacArthur, a great source of Vermont and New England songs, thus adding song treasures from the American and Canadian branches of British folk song to their repertoire. Since then, John and Tony have performed around the country, at pubs, folk clubs, festivals, coffee houses, maritime museums, and even art museums. John has been on staff at the Augusta Heritage and Country Dance and Song Society music and dance camps. He has also been a member of Nowell Sing We Clear, featuring seasonally-themed per- formances of song and "mumming" (ritual folk theater). Not content with that, in the past few years he has also been performing in a trio called Ye Mariners All, which performs maritime song, and he has played for Morris dancing and for English country dancing. John has recorded over a dozen CDs with Tony and the members of Nowell Sing We Clear, as well as appearing on several other recordings including Ye Mariners All. This is John Roberts' first trip to Texas. Please make him welcome!

Chojo Jacques & Billy Bright, Steelhead String Band, Ruby Jane Perform at Central Market North on April 10th Come out to a great free 3-act concert at Central Market North on April 10th. In another collaboration between Central Market and AFTM we present: Chojo Jacques and Billy Bright - 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. Steelhead Stringband - 6 - 7 p.m. Ruby Jane - 7:30 - 9 p.m. Headliner Ruby Jane is one of the finest fiddlers you'll ever hear (and she is 15 years old). She is a fastrising star in country and bluegrassAmericana music. With deep familial and cultural ties throughout the South, especially Mississippi, where she lived until she was 12 years old. She now lives in Austin with her mama when not traveling as a musician, actress, or model. Ruby Jane exhibited a strong connection to music as early as age one and began classical violin instruction at age two. At age eight, she devoted herself to old-time and bluegrass music. Subsequently, she began old-time fiddle lessons, which included the study of its unique bowing techniques, archaic tunings, and depth of expression. After only six fiddle lessons she won first place in the first fiddle competition she entered, beginning a run of victories and increasing fame that continues today. She was granted an apprenticeship by the Mississippi Arts Commission at age eight to apprentice with Charles T. Smith, one of the last great Mississippi old-time fiddlers. For the past three years, she has competed in dozens of prestigious music competitions and per- formed with many bluegrass and country greats, including Marty Stuart, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Asleep at the Wheel, Rhonda Vincent ("The Queen of Bluegrass"), Mike Snider, Jesse McReynolds, Jim Brock, James Monroe, Carl Jackson and many others. In 2005, at age ten, Ruby Jane acted in her second film, contributed an original song to a film soundtrack, performed as the youngest invited fiddler in the history of the Grand Ole Opry, played at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop three times, and won the National Beginners Fiddle Championship (which ranked her first nationally under twelve). Also in 2005, she won Second Place on the mandolin in the National Beginner Country Musician Competition. In October 2005, she won First Place in her category and then won the FiddleOff at the Mississippi State Fair Southern Championship Fiddle Contest, establishing her as the Mississippi State Fiddle Champion of 2005 for all age groups. She was the youngest state champion in the competition's history. The Steelhead String Band is Trent Shepherd on fiddle, Sharon Sandomirsky playing guitar, Jerry Hagins on banjo and Brink Melton on bass. All long-time Austin musicians, these guys spin out the finest oldtime Appalachian fiddle tunes around. Nothing too fancy, just straight-ahead oldtime dance music with clawhammer banjo, rock solid guitar, and driving bass, plus Trent has a few songs up his sleeve when his bow arm gets tired. Trent and Brink were bandmates for many years in the popular local band Onion Creek Crawdaddies, performing at notable venues near and far. Sharon has played with many groups over the years, including the Fuzzy Mountain String Band, the New Rubitonic Entertainers (with Fred Cockerham), and the Herald Angels. She recently released a critically acclaimed CD Road to Agate Hill with Alice Gerrard and Gail Gillespie. Jerry plays with many local bands, including Christy and the Plowboys, Old Waterloo, and the Rising Gorge Boys. He has performed and recorded with Ken Waldman and played for several years with the Pistol Love Family Band. Billy Bright and Wayne "Chojo" Jacques first met at the Wings and Strings Music Festival in Florida in 2001, where Billy was appearing with "Peter Rowan's Texas Trio", and Chojo was appearing with the "Waybacks". After many late night motel jams, and shared gigs over the next few years, they developed a close musical relationship. In 2007 they decided to perform as a duo, and after a year of performing at clubs, house concerts, and festivals, Billy and Chojo have released their debut CD "Texacali Blues", and have developed a reputation for a new and fresh interpretation of classic fiddle and mandolin tunes, quirky originals, and an engaging stage show that audiences and promoters have described as transcendent, hilarious, and one of a kind.

AFTM is hosting our fifth string band festival October 15, 16, and 17 at Camp Ben McCulloch across from the Salt Lick (directions below). The festival is supported in part by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts. This year we feature a Friday night Dance Till You Drop with Cajun, C&W, and old-time dancing called by Rich MacMath. As usual we'll have great bands, fun jams, good food and topnotch workshops at this beautiful campground with shade trees, a creek, and all the facilities for a magical time. Gates open at noon on Friday, October 15. Although this is its fifth year this festival is still small enough that everyone can get right up close to the musicians. And the musicians are worth a close listen. The line up features bluegrass, old-time Appalachian, cowboy ballads, Cajun, and Americana delivered by the best local string bands and out of state headliners. Festival booking agent Jeanne DeFriese, who booked the music for Old Settlers when it was a small bluegrass festival, makes this comparison: "I have a freer hand booking for ASBF. Our audience is very open-minded and eclectic in their tastes; they seem quite delighted with our diverse selections on stage and in the mini-sets. We book old time and bluegrass acts but you might also hear Gospel, traditional Mexican, Cajun, or retro jazz - anything that hews to regional stringband music. There are more spur of the moment jam sessions at ASBF - everywhere!" Huntsville fiddle maven Marynell Young says ASBF has the "most eclectic stage show East of Los Angeles and the best jam sessions West of North Carolina - finger pickin' good!" This year the Friday night headliner is Foghorn Trio and the Saturday night headliners are the Haints and Kweskin & Muldaur. Foghorn Trio is a heralded oldtime string band playing music deeply rooted in the American folk tradition. It's a pre-copyright, postbluegrass style, but the Foghorns put their own stamp on it. Stephen "Sammy" Lind and Caleb Klauder draw on their rich history of more than ten years playing fiddle tunes and old time country together. They trade vocals, guitar, fiddle, banjo and mandolin. Nadine Landry switches between upright bass and guitar, bringing in elements of Cajun by drawing on her French Acadian roots. It's a sound that could be coming to you from a big console radio in a 1930s living room, or an Appalachian front porch; instead it's being delivered by a group of players from the thriving old time music scene of Portland, Oregon. They crank out an amazing wave of great old time dance music for just three people! Hot local old-time dance caller Rich MacMath will get everyone up and dancing. The Haints is a young trio that favors tunes old, quirky and twisted, notably the great archaic songs that have almost been forgotten. With Erynn Marshall's highly regarded old-time fiddling leading the pulse, Jason Romero changes effortlessly between clawhammer and threefinger banjo, Pharis Romero keeps the deep groove on the flat-top guitar, and all three sing, from tender duets to the boisterous call and response songs of early string bands. Singer and multi-instrumentalist Carl Jones is also appearing with the Haints. Erynn, who won first place in fiddle at the 2008 Clifftop Appalachian Stringband Festival in West Virginia, is a fine talent who plays with power and control. Continued on page 4 �Fire Ant Frolic Coming Soon! Austin's 14th Annual Fire Ant Frolic will be held October 29-31, 2010, at the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs. This will be a great event called by Nils Fredland with Elixir - a high energy dance band that blends superb calling, driving fiddle and guitar playing, and the rich texture and rhythmic excitement of a full horn section. We will be dancing in the Grand Ballroom, the largest of its kind in central Texas. The polished oak floor spans over four thousand square feet (two average houses could fit inside!) and the ceiling soars to thirty feet. The room is dramatically illuminated with vintage bronze and crystal wall sconces, for a total of seventy candlelight bulbs and a thousand sparkling crystal drops! Full information about the event is available through our website, www.fireantfrolic.com or you can pick up a flyer at one of the many dances in Austin. You'll see details about all of our wonderful talent, see our preliminary schedule of dance sessions, workshops, special events throughout the weekend and register online via PayPal. The deadline for early registration is October 1, so make sure your registration is postmarked on or before that date for a $10 discount. We'd love to have your help!

The Austin Banjo Club has been very active this fall. In addition to our regular Monday night practice sessions at the Lamar Senior Activity Center (29th and North Lamar, Austin, Texas) we have played four gigs in September and have three more lined up for October, so far. We have been having a great deal of fun.

Club member Roxie McCoy had recently choreographed three of his songs: "Road Trip", about traveling on Texas Highway 281, "Frijoles Con Arroz", and "A Girl Named Texas" and all three were on the program as the group danced at Horseshoe Bay in Marble Falls on July 3rd. "While we didn't get him up dancing, he did give us an open invitation to come dance to his live music some time." said dancer Jon Durbin. The team also danced several patriotic numbers from their repertoire.

Geoff and Jim share a rare chemistry that was instantly renewed when they reunited as a duo in Tokyo in 2006. The distinctive qualities they brought to the Jug Band - Kweskin's clean, rhythmic finger picking and Muldaur's emotional, quavering voice remain their signature. When it comes to acoustic folk, blues, and ragtime, Kweskin and Muldaur are unparalleled exponents of the best American music. Unfortunately we don't have the space to tell you about all the bands. See below for the complete lineup. The full workshop scheducle with descriptions is on page 5. But the stage bands are not the whole story. Camp Ben's grounds are lovely, with plenty of big old shade trees, a gurgling creek and plenty of room for camping and jamming. Some of the best music is off-stage in sessions lasting till the wee hours. Bring your banjos, guitars, fiddles, mandolins and other instruments - sit under the trees and jam, sing, dance, eat, and make merry! The admission price gets you into a huge variety of workshops such as banjo, fiddle, singing and dancing (see below for more details). There is also a playground and a workshop for the youngsters.
