My comment does appear online -- I think that's sufficient. The only idea that comes to mind regarding an article would be something about my experiences performing classical music and how they differ and also are the same as performing folk music. If you think people would be interested, e-mail me at dojibo@yahoo.com and let me know how long, etc., and I'll try to come up with something for you.

Those opinions were his alone, of course. We encourage QCB members to write articles for the newsletter. Would you consider writing a short article expressing your point of view? We are in the process of changing the format of the newsletter, and that includes more member participation via articles, whether fact or personal opinion. Fact is, though, only two members have even approached writing anything on a regular basis. One person likes to write researched, factual articles, and the other, as you have seen, prefers to write about personal experience and opinion. So I'm glad to hear from you, and let me know if you want to write an article for use in an upcoming issue. Thanks again, Chuck Black QCBFolkNotes Editor P.S. Let me know if you want me to print your email as a response. I won't print it without your okay. Hi Sheryl,

I happen to be one, and I play and perform music that ranges from opera singing to 5-string banjo picking, with shapenote hymns and piano plinking in between. If anything, it has been the very accomplished but non-degreed pickers who seem reluctant to play with me, since I'm only average in that area, and they seem to have more of a clique mentality than my educated buddies in the classical music world. Just my two cents from the "other side of the tracks." I take some offense at Dan Walz’s characterization of musicians with degrees.

Unfortunately the Leo Coffeehouse schedule is filled for the rest of this year. But you can still come any 1st or 3rd Sunday in April or May and do an "open mic." That's a good way to get an intro to the venue. You can also talk to Spencer Funk about our bookings; at this point we will resume in September after a summer break. Our last Leo for the current season is the last Sunday of May. You can also check a short list of performance venues on the front page of our website. Some QCB members play at local coffeehouses and they usually contact the owner or manager to ge booked. Chuck Black QCBFolkNotes Editor Hi Lou,
