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.
