SARA GREY
Friday, April 27 8:30 pm
Once you have heard Sara Grey’s strong but sweet voice, or her driving
but melodic banjo playing, you will not forget it. And once you have heard
the love of traditional song that permeates her perform ances, you will
appreciate even more that FSGW audiences have another chance to hear this
fine singer on at 8:30 pm, Friday, April 27, 1990, at the WES auditorium ,
7750 16th St., NW.
Sara grew up in New Hampshire, but has lived in several of the many
corners of the world, learning and singing songs from North Carolina to
Arizona and from M ontana to England, where she lives now. She has
recorded for Folk Legacy in the US and for Fellside and Greenwich Village
in England, and has perform ed in over 30 festivals and 200 clubs. Her
particular love is for the ballacThnd lyric song, using styles she learned in the mountains of the Appalachian
South.
Admission is $6 (FSGW) and $8 (nonmembers). Come and enjoy an evening of genuinely joyful music.

A Note From the Editor:
This Newsletter is packed with events! And Inserts!! As Editor, I decided to keep as many of the
announcements as possible, although severe editing has been done. This means TINY TYPE for most
of the issue. G et out your magnifying glass & enjoy!
Also: Putting out the Newsletter each month is a job too large for one sane person. Thanks to Pam
Harders & Linda K ravitz, I can be a cheerful Editor. However... We have room for two more people!!
