New Salem to Great Barrington - Vance Spans Masssachussetttts - Then Indy, Then Chicago

Hi Folks!!

Welcome to the list all the folks that signed up at the now dearly departed New Bedford Folks Fest, Middlebury VT, and Long Grove/Chicago area.

I've got two favorite Massachusetts shows coming up:

Sat, Aug 1, New Salem MA
1794 Meetinghouse
26 S. Main St. New Salem MA
978-544-5200
www.1794meetinghouse.org

Well, they have all kinds of stuff coming there over the summer, from Reggae to Celtic, so why not have me? While I haven't played there before, these folks are wonderful to meet so I said yes yes!

Fri, Aug 7, Great Barrington, MA
Guthrie Center
2 Van Deusenville Road
Great Barrington, MA

On the other hand, I have played here the top of every August for about a decade. This show sells out now, so you'll want to get tix early. It's nice up there, come early and drive around, or stay over nearby

****** Special Chicago Show Announcement******
Tues, 9/29
S.P.A.C.E.
Evanston, IL
http://www.evanstonspace.com

I usually don't highlight a show that is over 2 months away, but I worked hard to get into this room. I lobbied, got an opener for Tuck & Patti a while back and murdered the room. Now I have my own night, albeit it is a Tuesday. Help me fill this room, will you Chicago? Friends bring friends and I'l give away CDs even. Free canned goods? Autographed nite lights?

Wisdum: - just got back from my model airplane nationals and I picked up some great lines on aging from some fun Old White men:

"I'm so old, I was in college when the Dead Sea was just sick"

"When I wake up, I thrust out my elbows to each side of me. If I don't feel any wood, then I know it's a good day above ground"
