Hello yourself! You know about the Diana Jones/Steve Ono concert on Saturday in the Wolk Garden? The Arts & Leisure magazine of the New York Times of Sunday, May 31 has a feature article about Diana Jones - see this link.

She'll be staying with us and will be here for the full party. Come on out and meet a Nashville persona.

Steve Ono, local hero, also performs.

Come early to party & potluck, say “aloha oe” to retiring FFS prez, Anne Jenny.
Stay late and jam with local musicians.
Bring chair or blanket, food & drink to share.

Hey Eric (whoever you are)
Why exactly do you need an admin when there are only... let's see here... four members right now?

Hey! Nice. FFS is also on myspace and on Facebook. Look at the photos on our myspace--lots of them-- and maybe you can transfer some of them.

should have been Bryan Bowers. This is a great opportunity to hear one of a great autoharpist and storyteller.
