Great Show in NJ this weekend and exciting news!

1. Great Show
2. Great News
3. Help me save the Post Office.


1. GREAT SHOW!

Friday, August 22nd
Minstrel Coffeehouse
co-bill with Randall Williams
Morristown Unitarian Fellowship,
21 Normandy Heights Road,
Morristown, NJ.

That's right my first co-bill here. The Minstrel has always been one of my favorite places to play, and they have my favorite cover charge ($7 to get in, plus what you thought it was REALLY WORTH on the way out). Mike Agranoff and the gang have been trying to set up the right bill to split for literally years. So, I'm splitting it with right guy Randall Williams,(http://www.whereisrandall.com/) who is the king of the partial capo (or something like that) and an all-round nice guy.

This is will be my ONLY show in the northeast between now and the end of the year. Sure love to see you there.

For those of you who are dulcimer players, I will be teaching a workshop at the Off the Wall's dulcimer club picnic near Mechanicsburg, PA on Sunday the 24th at 2pm. Contact me butch@butchross.com if you want to go and I'll get you in touch with those folks.


2. GREAT NEWS!

The other great news is that I've been invited to the UK to do ten days of shows! I'll be doing a full-on Pub/Festival tour with two other bands. Dates and other info will be posted on my site (and elsewhere) soon enough, but I just wanted to let you all know the good news. Honestly, I can't believe it.

3. Help Me Save The Post Office

Way back in the day (the nineties) everybody used to send out postcards with upcoming shows. It made for a great way to clutter up your refrigerator. Then this thing called the internet came along and everybody could send emails to everybody for free. No stamps, no postcards, no overhead.

Well I think it's time to bring it back so I'm going to. Any of you who are on this list and would like to get old-fashion mail updates in a schmancy postcard form can get yourself on that list by going here: http://www.butchross.com/members.html and scrolling to the bottom. I probably won't send out more than a couple a year. But having a snail-mail address will also allow me to send you free stuff should it strike my fancy (like last year's Xmas card CD)

Okay that's all the news. Great sow this weekend. I'm looking forward to being back in the northeast ever so briefly. Flying in just for the weekend, just for this gig. Makes me feel like a rockstar. An unfocused, spendthrift rockstar who's not all that bright, but a rockstar nonetheless.

C-ya out there.
