Greetings & Music News
Hello friends!
The Gamble Rogers Festival was incredibly fun back in early May. In addition to performing, Lee emceed on the De Mesa Yard stage for part of the day. It was a great way to stay put and hear some wonderful music. The festival was quite different this year, with venues all over the downtown area. It had a lot of energy. Lee & Michael brought the sailboat to the city marina in St. Augustine and stayed there on the boat for the weekend. It was so much fun to be in the thick of it downtown and just be able to walk to the different music venues. The plan is to do it again next year! Arvid did the Tammerlin set, then returned to Jacksonville to be in Jennifer Chase’s play, “The Handmaid” which was quite successful!
We loved doing the shows with Mary-Lou. We had a huge crowd at the Neptune Beach show. It’s usually a busy, noisy venue, but this time, the audience was totally focused and quiet. Charlotte Mabrey joined us on percussion. We had an absolute blast. The High Springs house concert was very sweet, a great way for Jean-Luc and Felicie to see a part of Florida they had never seen. We were sad to see them go...looking forward to their return and another tour!
Here are a couple songs from Mary Lou's latest CD, Courrier Transatlantique.

Unfortunately, Lee came down with a cold and had to miss the Florida Folk Festival. For those of you who missed us there, hopefully we’ll see you next year
Coming up, we’re doing a few shows in the Jacksonville area, and we’ll be returning to thebeautiful Bok Tower in Lake Wales, FL. In August, we'll appear for the first time at Hickory Fest in the "Pennsylvania Grand Canyon" in Wellsboro, PA. We're very excited and honored to be a part of this very special music festival. Our good friend, Joe Craven will be there along with the Rowan-Cunningham Band,the Steep Canyon Rangers, Florida friends, Quartermoon, and more.

Arvid's corner
June is here and it marks the wrap of the second American tour of our friends from France, Mary-Lou. Hailing from the coast of Brittany, they are well-traveled to say the least. Delayed arrival (thanks to that nasty Icelandic volcano- remember that? ), they were barely a week in Jacksonville for a pair of gigs when they took off for the great western states.
Their first trip out west saw them somewhat dissillusioned with the blighted plight of the Indian reservations as well as the suffocating avarice of the big cities like San Francisco. But those were indeed the price they had to pay to experience the true grandeur of the giant redwood sequoias and half dome of Yosemite as well as the Grand Canyon.
A swing through Arkansas and some gigs with The Blugrass Bombers rounded out the trip before finding Jean-Luc & Felicie back safe and sound in Tammerlin country for a final week of jamming and general easiness before outrunning the volcano home once more. Bon Voyage.
Lee's Corner
Looking forward to the quiet of summer, writing, practicing, working on the house and garden, and boat time. The hull and bottom are freshly painte after more than three weeks in the yard in Green Cove Springs, FL. She looks like a different boat! She still needs some electrical work and some other things to make her more comfy, but that's not going to stop us now from getting out on the river. We’re looking forward to spending as much time on the water as possible.
