by Ruth Lipman ALAN FRIEND was awarded a medal by the Joslin Diabetes Center for “fifty coura- geous years” of coping with type-1 diabetes. Only 2200 medals have been awarded since 1970. Careful attention to details 24 hours a day for half a century has resulted in good health with no major medical complications for Alan. KATE MYSLINSKI and DAVID KLEIMAN want to share some wonderful news. Kate’s first grandchild, AMELIA ELIZABETH PRICE, daughter of MARK and SHARLYN PRICE, was born on May 1, 2006 at 7:00 A.M. She’s “perfect in every way,” says Kate. Welcome to the world, Amelia Elizabeth. SHEILA EWALL had a lovely time on a recent excursion to the Strawberry Festival in Peddlar’s Village, Pennsylvania and to the nearby town of New Hope. Peddlar’s Village, where she heard some bluegrass music, reminded Sheila of the Kutztown Fes- tival and the quaint town of New Hope evoked memories of Kent, Connecticut, which is near Camp Freedman. If you have news to share, please contact me at 372 Central Park West, #15B, New York, NY; 212-663-6309. Office Space Needed - Now! The Club has an immediate need for more appropriate office space. We need space for a desk (with our computer and phone), file cabinet and 2 storage cabinets in a place that is accessible evenings, nights and weekends so our volunteers can get there after their “day” jobs. We also need access to an area that we can use 2 evenings a month for our board meetings (20 people) and our newsletter mailings. We’re looking for a Man- hattan location with no cats; something shared with another nonprofit might be ideal. If you have any concrete information, contact Don Wade, 718-426-8555, or e-mail

- 5 - The Heritage of John Langstaff As we reported in the January issue, John (Jack) Langstaff died in December, two weeks short of his 85th birthday. To mark the passing of this unique figure in the mod- ern folk revival, The Folk Music Society of NY, Inc and The New York Revels are sponsoring a one day conference on his heritage and an evening memorial celebration. The almost certain date is Saturday, September 30, and will be confirmed by the time you read this. Please check the summer issue or the Club website. The event is also co- sponsored by the Country Dance & Song Society and Revels, Inc. (Cambridge, MA). Panel discussion in the day time will center on the central aspects of Jack’s profes- sional life: Music, Dance & Movement in the Education of Children and Teachers, Tradition as Theatre and Theatre as Tradition, Accompaniment and Arrangement in Traditional Folk Song, and Ritual and Ceremony for the 21st Century. Participants so far include, Tony Barrand, Susan Cooper, John Roberts, Larry Rosenwald, Paddy Swanson, Jerry Epstein, and (if we can raise the money) Keith Kendrick. There will be many more, to be announced next month. The evening celebration will have all of the above plus the Greenwich Morris Men, a brass group, an early music group, a chorus, and others – all to inspire re dedication to Jack’s unique vision. Given that we intend this event to be free to the public we must raise major funds to cover the cost. Contributions are earnestly sought, as soon as possible, as they will determine what the program can be. If you could give $100, or less, or more if you can, to support this once in a lifetime event, please send a check made out to FMSNY and clearly marked for the Langstaff event, to Heather Wood (address on page 4). Further information from Jerry Epstein at (718) 429-3437. If you are a regular contributor to the Club, please do not replace any regular gift with this contribution. Please give what you can only if you can do so as a special gift for this unique event. ---Jerry Epstein

Presents Peter Ostroushko in concert with Arkan Friday 2 June ‘06, 7:30 p.m. At the Community Church 40 E. 35 St (upstairs) between Park & Madison, Manhattan Free to members.
Peter Ostroushko is one of the finest mandolin and fiddle players in acoustic music. His tours have taken him to clubs, performing arts centers, music festivals and theatres across North America and Europe, and he has earned an international reputation as a versatile, dazzling master of instrumentation and composition. He is a frequent guest on A Prairie Home Companion.
Peter plays a rich ethnic mix, at the heart of which is his Ukrainian heritage. His term for his gumbo of musical styles is “slüz düz,” a phrase borrowed from his mother, meaning, roughly, “over the edge” or “off his rocker.” Arkan (Arkadiy Yushin), from Minsk, Belarus, is a professional record- ing and performance musician, composer, and guitar multistylist, as well as a private teacher of guitar, theory and advanced improvisa- tional techniques.
Contribution: $20; CD*NY members $18; seniors/student $12; kids under 12 $8. Free to members.
