From the Rooster's Wife

Hello music lovers,

I have a serious question. I want to know if there is anywhere else in the world that you could have a set that featured Hendrix and bagpipes, besides Aberdeen, that is ?

Gael Warning were out of this world, at least out of our normal galaxy. That was Celtic re-envisioned. Aberdeen’s Scottish heritage is what first made the group interesting for our calendar. Their terrific performance and your response confirmed my suspicions that this is a great place for fantastic music. If you were not able to join us , head to the web site, www.gaelwarning.com to pick up a cd. Bag Full of Blues is an experience you should not miss.

We have one last trick up our sleeve for the last concert. We are bringing Sally Spring, www.sallyspring.com and her trio to the porch. Read though her biography and you will know you have to be in Aberdeen Sept. 23rd to celebrate her craft. Likewise, Michael Reno Harrell is a raconteur of the first order. www.michaelreno.com His songs and stories will delight you. Pack up that picnic basket and come on down.

September 23rd will be the last outdoor concert but the music never stops in Aberdeen. We move inside with the second season of Home Fires Burning, our winter house concert series. or you early birds, Jonathan Byrd will be here the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend to kick off the season. www.jonathanbyrd.com Oh yeah.

One last thing. If you have enjoyed yourself, even a little, spread the word about our music. We need your support to continue. There are opportunities to join as a member, which gives you a discount on admissions, and there are corporate opportunities as well. We extend out heartfelt thanks to our major donors, the Town of Aberdeen, www.townofaberdeen.net, and Aging Outreach Services, www.agingoutreachservices.com. Our website is designed and maintained by Hitchcock Design, www.hitchdesign.com.

We’ll see you soon.
