I started fly-fishing nearly fifty years ago. Saying that makes me realize how old I am. When the only people who tell you, “You’re just a kid”, are your parents, you know much time has passed.

A few years back I decided to try fly-fishing for steelhead trout up in Northern California on the Trinity River. Now this was a new thing for me and new things require learning. On my first

trip up there I came upon another fly fisherman who certainly knew more than I did. As we were talking about how slow the fishing had been, he told me, “Ah, steelhead are the fish of a thousand casts.” I immediately knew what he was talk-ing about because in two days of fishing, I had only caught one steelhead trout. One should expect to cast a lot, sometimes for hours in every likely spot, and per-haps not get one strike.

But hope springs eternal.

I found the same to be true with striving to learn to play the fiddle. Ah, making one good sound is the product of a thousand bad sounds. Even though there are hours a stream when I hook not one fish, the journey of learning is what makes it worthwhile.

Which somehow brings me to Thanksgiving. I’m still a learner in all the jams I get to be in on. Take the weekly jam at the Basque: I’m surrounded by some people who know more than I do, but I also see new people joining in and it’s obvious that they have committed themselves to learning. That’s something I’m thankful for. On more than one occasion, I’ve asked my wife Megan, “What would we be doing if we weren’t a part of this community?”

Thanks for reading this message and when you see me, tell me you read it so I don’t feel like I’m practicing my fiddle in the closet…or fly-fishing in my brother’s swimming pool.

CD Review: Stones and Gravel (Barwick and Siegfried) Fresno Folklore Society members who missed seeing (and hearing) Barwick and Siegfried at the Harvest Home Festival or at their house concert can catch up with this Grass Valley duo through their latest cd, "Stones and Gravel." The title tune leads off the 12 tracks and is from North Ireland's Janet Henry.

Pete Siegfried sings lead in his impeccable country tenor. His delivery is easy, with never a stretch for notes. Kathy Barwick does a fine job on the old-time song, "Goin Down to Tampa" but mostly backs Siegfried with seamless harmonies.

Their arrangements feature a call and response between Siefried's mandolin and Barwick's amazing and inventive guitar breaks. The overdubbed acoustic bass by Barwick helps to anchor her extended solo runs.

With the exception of Jimmy Rogers' "Blue Yodel No. 7" and the traditional "Goin' Down to Tampa" all songs are

pulled from contemporary country/folk sources. As a consequence there is a more consistent sound to this cd than say their 2016 Long Time Gone with its diverse mix of country, bluegrass, folk and even rock and roll. Musical taste is personal, but other than the very haunting "The Lowlands," no song in this collection has the emotional power of selections from prior recordings such as "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" (2016) or "The L and N Don't Stop Here Anymore" (2015). Nevertheless this is an excellent third cd from this very talented duo. CDs available: www.barwickandsiegfried.net/recordings. (Karana Hattersley-Drayton).

Caleb Guerrieri wins Sue Beevers Scholarship Congratulations to Caleb Guerrieri, music student of Evo Bluestein, for being awarded a Sue Beever's Memorial Scholarship towards the purchase of a keyboard. Evo works with his students on many instruments in order to teach basic principles. Caleb was eager to have a keyboard at home so he can practice what he is learning. Evo says, “Thanks to FFS these guys have a new keyboard! Meet them soon at the Basque.”

Funds are still available in the Sue Beever's Account and students 18 years of age and younger are encouraged to apply. Past recipients are also eligible. We are so grateful to everyone who donates towards this endeavor of supporting kids who love music. (Karen Starcevich)

CBA Fire Relief Fund Raiser A Big Success It was a great day today raising $3,627 for the California Bluegrass Association’s fire relief effort and we had a great time in the process! Big thank you to Patricia Allen Wolk for hosting us and to Tom Naiman, Ron Murray, Bob Garcia, Anne Whitehurst, Robert Manzanedo, Michael McDonald, and all the many musicians who came out to play, the Fresno Folklore Society for their support and generous donation and to all who showed up to donate and show their support! We have an incredible community of people to be grateful for and it feels so good that we were able to do so much in such a short period of time having just put this together this

week and announced in a few days before the show! Also thanks to CMAC for coming out to record the show and I’ll put out the word when it will be broadcast! Wow! I am just blown away! (Dan Stein)

BAY AREA CONTRA DANCE SOCIETY NO SNOW BALL

BACDS is having their 32nd annual gala No Snow Ball on Sunday, Dec 2. The Lake Merritt Dance Center at 200 Grand Ave. in Oakland will be the venue for this event. The guest caller will be Lindsey Dono from Seattle. Live music for the dance is from The Offbeats. As usual, there is waltzing during the break. As it says on the flier, “Festive attire is admired, but not required.” The gala is from 6 to 10 pm, the cost is $20.00 to $30.00 on a sliding scale. Anyone can dance with anyone. If you are a beginner, find someone experienced to help learn all the wonderful ins and outs of contra dancing. Potluck snacks (contact les.addison@gmail.com to help out). If you would like to journey to the Bay Area, visit them at https.//bacds.org/events/NoSnow for more details. (Sue Wirt)

COMMUNITY CONTRA DANCE

December is the turn for Community Contra Dancing at the California Arts Academy,4750 N. Blackstone. Evo has gone to hosting one dance per month due to his heavy schedule. This is the time for you to come out and show everyone your moves (or learn new ones). Contra dance events at Cal Arts can also include squares and circles. This month, Evo is asking for anyone who wants to be a guest caller or guest musician, to contact him at evobluestein@gmail.com. If you want to call a dance, indicate what type and even name the dance if you like. The open dance band gives you another chance to participate. This is an opportunity to play with Barry, Karana, and Evo. Let Evo know what instrument you are bringing. For the musicians who want to respond, this is not a lesson nor for beginners. The Contra Dance is scheduled for Saturday, Dec 8, from 6:00 to 8:30 or 9:00. Dancers' suggested donation is $6.00 per person up to $30.00 for family groups of 5 or more. (Sue Wirt)

WILPF PEACE CRAFTS FAIR FOR 2018

As the calendar goes around, it is time for the annual WILPF Peace Craft Fair again. It will be on Saturday, December 1 from 10 am to 4 pm. Such a cool

day to wander around, browse, eat, greet and hang out with friends, listen to good music, do your part to help the Peace Movement and fill up on presents

for yourself and others. This will be the third time it will be held at the Fresno City College cafeteria as it outgrew the previous location. Parking on campus is free for the day. The cafeteria is located at the corner of Weldon and College Avenues on the north side of the campus. The usual wonderful stuff will be there, Lynn's Jam; Ann Lamb's bird and critter houses; Sue Wirt's pillows, blankets, ponchos, and items made by Ann Munson as well as some FFS materials; Linda Dryden's jewelry; Emily Johnsen's hand made glass beads, Cheiko Delgado's paintings and prints; a booth with Hmong needlework, etc. etc. Last year, I bought the usual FairTrade chocolate bars for my brother in law, some books for my great nephew, jam to give away as well as for myself, a necklace from one of the vendors, one of Cheiko's prints, and some other stuff just to round out the experience. WILPF holds a silent auction and has some really good stuff available for bid. If you would like to donate something for the silent auction, you can call Patty Bennett at 999-9709 to make arrangements. They also run a raffle via tickets that you can purchase there. The raffle goes on all day. There will be several information booths as well as those with merchandise. Along with the booths, music goes on all day on the stage, including the Grannies at noon with their social justice lyrics to songs we all know. The cafeteria serves three of the soups from recipes provided by WILPF as well as breads and deserts and drinks so you can purchase lunch and sit down with friends while there. There are lots of booths in the main room but also some in rooms off the north end of the cafeteria and several outside, all hoping that the weather will cooperate. Come and hang out with all of us and bring your friends and relatives as well. Bring someone new if you can. (Sue Wirt)

Save the Date, Saturday September 14, 2019 "Harvest Home: A Festival of Americana Music" Riverview Ranch.

This year's Festival was so successful that the Parties for the Parkway Committee voted to have another Festi-val in 2019. As a reminder, this is a fundraiser for the San Joaquin Parkway and Conservation Trust, but hono-rariums for musicians and sound crew must be raised privately. I am pleased to say we have reached our goal. So mark your calendars for the all-day event. Music by Bad Boys Zydeco, Pipe on the Hob (Celtic), the Bad Actors (bluegrass duet), Grass Less Traveled (bluegrass), Hank Bradley and Cathi Whitesides (fiddling from Seattle) and a final dance set with the Hillbilly Jazz Band. Contra dance called early in the day by Larry Cusick... food trucks and cold beer! $15 for Fresno Folklore Society Members. And thanks again to FFS mem-bers who came to the event and volunteered this year (Karana Hattersley-Drayton).

HESITATION BLUES

CONCERT

On Saturday, November 24, Hesitation Blues, a band consisting of Barry Shultz, Terry Barrett, and Evo Bluestein, played a one hour concert on the stage at Tower District Records across from Fresno High School. Those in attendance were treated to three master

musicians who played, sang, and told stories about some of their favorite pieces of music and the people who passed the songs on to them. Sometimes it was three fiddles playing, sometimes it was an autoharp, mandolin, and fiddle, or other combination. Played expertly with flair, it was a treat for the listeners. Some of the audience knew about it ahead of time but others had come in to look at records and stayed for the concert, or were walking by outside and heard the music. We also were given a chance to sing along with some of the songs that we knew or learned a chorus to something new. These little concerts are a really good chance to sample some of the areas best musicians. There was a sign on the wall that indicated that the venue is also going to be hosting some storytelling. That will require a little more research on my part. The FFS Board is discussing a storytelling and liars contest in combination with music some time in the future. Anyway, if you have a free Saturday lunch time some time, check out the calendar at Tower District Records to see what they have going or talk to them about performing. They have hosted short events with youth performers in the past, too. (Sue Wirt)

MARLEY’S GHOST is coming Friday February 15, 2019!

Fresno Unitarian Universalist Church 7:30 PM An eclectic aggregation composed of singer/

multi-instrumentalists Dan Wheetman, Jon Wilcox, Mike Phelan, Ed Littlefield Jr., Jerry Fletcher, and Bob Nichols – the band can sing and play anything with spot-on feel, from roots to rock, blues to bluegrass, gospel to stone country, which is what they’ve been doing – to the ongoing delight of a fervent cult that includes many of their fellow musicians – throughout their first quarter century as a working unit. Their trademark multi-part harmonies never cease to captivate, whether on record or in live performance. (Kerry Walters)

NEW YEAR'S DAY SOUP PARTY

Well, it is always a treat to have soup at Pat Wolk's house. This year's holiday happening at the Wolk home is a soup potluck party on New Year's Day. Scheduled from 2 pm to 6 pm, you are invited to bring munchies and soup if you choose (she is making her “famous” clam chowder, she says). She also has a new couch in the family room to sit on while you sit around and play and sing and talk with your folkie friends. Bring your instruments and your best self to share. Think about what you want to do for the rest of the year and make sure that it includes as many get-togethers and dances and concerts as you can manage because we all

know what music can do for our psyches. Of course, there is always the friendship and community aspect to pull it altogether. Pat's address is 6661 N Forkner and the hope is that we will see all of you there. (Sue Wirt)
