The gig itself is not on Wednesday, thankfully. That's just when I fly, and thus my deadline for getting things sorted with the band. The gig is on Saturday night. The structure is that we're tacking a half hour of community dances onto the front of a full evening that this band was already going to be playing. So they'll get plenty of time to shine doing their own thing, and we'll only to work together for a short set. There have been some excellent and very helpful tune suggestions. Thank you all! I've sent the band a list of tunes and links, and will try to connect by phone later today. They claim to have some "folk and country" in their repertoire, and perhaps some of these tunes will be familiar to them. The band's instrumentation is promising -- accordion, banjo, bass, drums, fiddle, washboard, harmonica and guitar. Once again, I want to say how much I appreciate these email discussion lists. It's wonderful to be able to connect with the larger community of callers, musicians and organizers. I'll keep you all posted as things progress. Thank you! Kalia Kliban
