      From: Suffet@worldnet.att.net              Greetings:              You all know me. I'm the Old Fashioned Folksinger.              I was born and raised in East Virginia early on a frosty morning. My       Daddy was a miner, and I'm a miner's son. My Mama would rock me in the       cradle, but I left home when I was just nine days old. That's when I       picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine. The captain said, "I got me       a steam drill round," so I told my captain, "Your men a-gonna leave you"       and I said farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea bound coast. Then I traveled       all over this country, a-digging, prospecting for gold. I found rocks       and gravel make a mighty fine road, so with a ten dollar horse and a       twenty dollar saddle they sent me to New Bedford, that famous whaling       port. But I caught me the end of a long freight train and fanned my tail       to the Oregon line. I was walking down the track with tears in my eyes,       trying to read a letter from my home, when along comes the sheriff from       Cornersville saying, "Pay me or go to jail.." Well, I ran so fast the       hounds couldn't catch me, down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. So       if you ever see me coming back, I'll extend to you my paw, but it's       gonna be through a telescope from the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide       Pacific shore.                     Now if you detect even the most remote grain of truth buried beneath all       that woofing and whooping, why not come find out for yourself? I'll be       appearing at the Peoples' Voice Cafe in New York City on March 10 of       this year to celebrate the release of my newest CD, "I've Been Up On the       Mountain." Accompanying me will be a gang of musical fugitives from the       MacDougal Street Rent Party and the Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash.              Also on the bill that evening will be Holley Anderson, a/k/a Holly       GoAnarchy, the extremely talented Brooklyn based song smith whose latest       hit, "Why Am I Not a Lesbian?," has just gone quadruple platinum at the       top of the Anarcho-Feminist Folk charts. If you would like to think of       us as the Sonny and Cher of folk music, go right ahead. Everyone's       entitled to be wrong some time!              Here are the details, probably more than you could have imagined:              Steve Suffet + Holly GoAnarchy       Peoples' Voice Cafe in the Workmen's Circle Building       45 East 33rd Street, between Park & Madison Avenues       Midtown Manhattan • New York City       Saturday • March 10, 2007       8:00 PM • Doors open 7:30       Suggested contribution: $12.       Peoples' Voice Cafe or Workmen's Circle members: $9.       More if you choose. Less if you can't. TDF vouchers accepted.       No one turned away for lack of money or for any other silly reason.       For info: 212-787-3909       Websites:       http://www.peoplesvoicecafe.org/       http://suffet.home.att.net/       http://www.hollygoanarchy.com/              Be there!              --- Steve              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
