Just a quick note to everybody to let you know that I'll be returning to Jerry's wonderful Southern Ohio Dulcimer Festival this weekend. In addition, I'll be playing an intimate show Friday, at a new music store just west of the city. The Guitar House Workshop is a new store opened by a luthier, in addition to selling new and used guitars he's into opening his place for intimate concerts not unlike McCabe's guitar store in California. Space is limited to get there early. the shop is at 1423 Chambers Road, Columbus, Ohio 43212 The show is at 7pm ($5 suggested donation). Saturday and Sunday finds me back in Stewart Ohio (near Athens) for the Southeastern Ohio Folk Festival, I've told you this before, but Jerry gave me my first break at his festival and that was the springboard to everything else. It's a small, intimate festival but great fun. the prices and details (including the other folks who are gonna be there) are all available at Jerry's site jcrmusic.com Hope you can make it. Ona personal note, big thanks to all of you who followed the UK tour on Twitter or Facebook it was an interesting experiment keeping the updates under 140 characters (and still telling you what was going on) and it was great to get your comments and feedback. If you missed it, you can get teh play by play by scrolling down my twitter page. twitter.com/butchross In fact, if you haven't I'd really like to hear if reading it out of context makes any sense to you. Okay that's all for now. Hope you can make it out to one of these shows. I'm in Atlanta next week, more on that later. C-ya out there. --Br www.butchross.com "Now I know what a dulcimer is supposed to sound like" ?Jake Shimabukuro From butch at butchross.com Thu Nov 19 17:41:00 2009 From: butch at butchross.com (Butch Ross) Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:41:00 -0500 Subject: [ From Butch Ross ] Shows tonight and Sunday, and sign my snail mail list...Christmas is coming. Message-ID: Tonight! 9pm Lindsay St. Hall 901 Lindsay St. Chattanooga, TN no cover. Sunday, Nov. 22nd - 8pm The Acoustic Coffeehouse Johnson City, TN (The love me there cause I don't play that wagon wheel song) Sorry about the last minute notice on the Lindsay Street show, but the show itself came together at totally the last minute. England and Ireland were awesome, but one of the great things about living in Chattanooga is that I also find it's good to be back home. The Twitter/Facebook mini updates seemed to work pretty well. I'm thinking about using those tweets as the basis of a larger post about my time over there (but we'll see, I did say that about every other overseas tour I've made) What I will be doing for sure is going back next May with my friend (and great songstress) Brigid Kaelin. Hey, have you gotten on my snail mail list yet? Christmas is coming and?stealing an idea from Maker's Mark?I'd like to give you all a little something to show my appreciation for your support. But I gotta know where to send it. You can sign up for it here: http://www.butchross.com/members.html Okay that's all for now. If yr local, come to the show or maybe I'll see you on Sunday. My Christmas show is coming up in a few weeks as well, and that promises to be a lot of fun. Tonight! 9pm Lindsay St. Hall 901 Lindsay St. Chattanooga, TN no cover.
