April Update


A bountiful harvest of wild leeks.

Since our last blogpost, the September dance has been set for Saturday, September 4.  It will be an in-person dance if COVID restrictions - and our own abundance of caution - allow it.  It will take place at Dirty Girl Farm in Andes, NY, where we had one of our most successful dances in late summer, 2019.  

Also since the last blogpost, the program for next week's WIOX broadcast of Catskills Folk: it will be an interview with Mary Ann Warren, the well-known caterer "Mary's Cookin' Again."  She will share her experiences digging wild leeks, a multi-generation family tradition she learned from her father.  Tune in at 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 27 on the air at 91.3 FM or on-line at wioxradio.org.

Video editing has hit another roadblock, so on-line postings of interviews with tradition bearers, folk artists and musicians, plus the promised mini-videos of dance instruction are still on hold.  Live presentations of speakers will be announced here first, then by e-mail and finally by post card and print sources.
