    On the Road Again 

    We're heading out for our tenth or eleventh winter tour down the east coast and back.  We'll be seeing many of our old friends in familiar venues but also several new places. We're excited to be playing for the Princeton Folk Music Society and for the Williamsburg Library later this week and for the Salisbury (NC) Library next week.
