i knew there was something in the works, but held off till i knew for
sure. this just in from janet place:

I am now in the position of announcing a bunch of
Tsunami Aid
concerts in the next couple of weeks.

Cat's Cradle   Jan. 22nd
Pour House January 23rd
Temple Ball   February 4th
ArtsCenter   February 5

The Pour House show will be another all day extravaganza
beginning 2 pm.
Here is the incredible line up of folks performing:

John Howie
Kenny Roby
Robert Kirkland and Kick the Future
Jon Shain
The Brown Mountain Lights
Chatham County Line
Spencer Acuff
Slow Hand
Emily Waszak

Bless Marianne for all her help with this! Everyone who was
asked to
perform readily agreed and many other folks are helping
out, particulary
Charlie Berry and Frank Heath.. The line ups for the other
shows will be
announced soon. I am overwhelmed, but not surprised, at the
amount of
generosity here.

All proceeds will benefit: The American Red Cross
International Disaster
Response and The U.S. Fund for UNICEF-Tsunami Fund.

More info to follow....Obviously with short turn around we
need lots of help in getting the word out about the shows.

for more info on these events (volunteer or otherwise), you can contact
gerry williams at roots AT bellsouth.net or janet at jplace AT email.unc.edu
