Just a gentle nudge to remind FOFF members that
Woodview’s doors open this Frida, May 9th at 6:30pm. This month we play host to the amazing Delta
blues of WILLIE GREEN. Green hails from the Ocala and plays regularly at The Yearling
Restaurant.
Opening the evening for
Green will be Deland’s “Blues Got
Us”. They are Bill and
Eli Perras. Hailed by Sing Out! Magazine
who write -- “Each song thoughtfully brings the human condition to light
and most offer a silver lining, the possibility of change if we get off our
butts and reach out to each other.” Bill’s immaculate guitar playing
combines studied technique blended seamlessly with genuine blues sensibilities. Eli is a consummate singer who employs signing
for the deaf with each song. This is an evening you won’t want to
miss.
Coming
attractions –
A special “Concert
on the Point” is scheduled for Friday, May 16th from
6 until 10pm on the point at the Port Hotel and Marina grounds . The
music will be supplied by Florida
folk artists – some of whom you have heard at Woodview. Tickets at $10 per person go to benefit the
Three Sisters Fund. Light refreshments
will be available to purchase. See LINDA
MYERS at Woodview this Friday to purchase your tickets early. Bring lawn chairs for this event. For more information call Dee
at 220-6058.
For the outdoor challenged or indoor
oriented, also on May 16th NCUU’s
Friday Flicks will feature the film “Little Buddha”. Keanu Reeves and Bridget Fonda star in this
award winning film from Bertolucci. The
film starts at 7pm with a cartoon short. A $3 donation is requested.
On May 23,24,& 25 the Florida Folk Festival takes over the town
of White
Springs. Musicians, craftspeople (to be
PC), food and outrageous all-night jamming are on tap. Headliners include Nashville recording stars, Amy Carol Webb,
Mindy Simmons, Gatorbone, and a host of angels/demons with instruments. If you have not attended a FFF, give it a day.
See you there!
Woodview’s season will come to a close
on June 6th when HANNAH’S
WHIRL will be our featured guests. Paul and Tami took part in an open mic at
Woodview a while back and were such knockouts that we wanted everyone to hear
them.
Finally, a homework
assignment. Over the summer a group of us will gather to
select the featured artists for next season at Woodview. If you have a favorite group that have
performed before or have heard elsewhere or just a type of performance to
include in the mix, let us know and we will add their name(s). Woodview is about sharing the music and
without your ears and your voice we can only guess. Just email your suggestions to us here at Woodview@tampabay.rr.com Thanks
for your support and help.
