We have sad news. Alan Friend died on March 28, 2018. A member for almost five decades, Alan was a positive force in our folk music club. He was generous with his time and talent—teaching, performing and serving on the Board in several capacities including president. He was a devoted husband and father to his wife Rosalie and daughter Julia. Many of us attended club events that Alan and Rosalie graciously hosted in their home. We remember him with affection. The club extends condolences to Rosalie, Julia and the rest of the Friend family. If you would like to send a donation in Alan’s memory, organizations suggested by the family are: English Springer Spaniel Rescue of Long Island,www.springerspaniel.org, and JDRFType 1 Diabetes Research Funding and Advocacy, www.jdrf.org. Judy Polish's mother, Ada Turkeltaub, died on March 22, 2018. She was 101. Born in London, England, she came to the U.S. at the age of 3. Music was the family's main source of entertainment; Ada, her sisters and brother sang and harmonized popular songs, Yiddish songs and English songs. At her funeral the audience joined in for a rousing round of “You Are My Sunshine.” She bequeathed the love of singing, of Coney Island, and games to Judy and to her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and a new great great grandchild named Sloane. The club extends condolences to Judy and her family.

It reports on an Executive Board meeting that took place on November 17 of that year, at which officers were elected protem. Annual dues were set at $3 per person. I also found a first anniversary issue. There is no date, but by matching the days of the week and dates for events listed, I was able to determine it was published in either in late August or early September 1966. I would presume September is more likely, because in August many members would have been at Pinewoods Camp in Massachusetts for Folk Music Week. So it appears that the Pinewoods Folkmusic [sic] Club of the Country Dance Society of America, as it was first called, was founded one year earlier, some time in the fall of 1965, but the exact date is not known. Early newsletters came out at irregular intervals, possibly whenever the editor Bernie Klay decided to publish one. That being said, I also found two issues of a newsletter called Pinewoods Palaver, likewise edited by Bernie Klay, and dated September 1964 and November 1964, respectively. These were obviously circulated among people from the New York metro area who had been to Folk Music Week at Pinewoods Camp. In the second issue there is a notice for a Song Swap Session at the C.D.S. Center in Greenwich Village on December 12, 1964. As part of the description the newsletter says: "If this session proves successful and is well attended and enjoyable, it could become a regular activity of C.D.S and form the basis of a Metropolitan Area Folk Music Club affiliated with C.D.S." So it looks like what we now call the Folk Music Society of New York has two founding dates: •Pinewoods Folkmusic Club officially came into existence in the fall of 1965, with the first Executive Board meeting taking place on November 17, 1965. •However, it grew out of a song swap session that took place on December 12, 1964. So take your pick. Either way, we have been around for more than half a century and we are still going strong. Some Internet Stuff ●The late Alan Lomax left a huge archive of music. His Association for Cultural Equity is now headed by his daughter, the anthropologist Anna Lomax Wood. (Dr. Wood and her father both have participated in programs for the Folk Music Society of NY.) Finally Lomax's archive has been digitized and made available at http:// theglobaljukebox.org. ●Twentyfive thousand songs recorded onto 78RPM discs in the early 20th century have been released online, for free at https://archive.org/details/georgeblood, They are the first batch of an estimated 400,000piece virtual record collection to be made available by the Internet Archive, from gospel by the Tuskegee Institute Sings, to opera recorded in Italy, to novelty tunes by Spike Jones, to hot jazz. ●The Séamus Connolly Collection of Irish Music is a new huge and impressive collection (with audio) of Irish music:. http://connollymusiccollection.bc.edu The Society's Web Page: www.folkmusicny.org facebook: www.bit.ly/FolkNY 6 For addresses, times, phone numbers, and other details, see the location informa tion on page 10 following this calendar.
