Ruth Rosenthal Watt worked for the WPA, organized public support and peace demonstrations, and sent care packages to the fellows in Spain. Excerpts from their letters and songs of the Spanish Civil War and other political causes in the US tell their story against the backdrop of war. Well known singer-instrumentalist Tony Saletan, accompanied by Sylvia Miskoe on accordion, joins Dan and Molly Lynn Watt as they read the letters of George and Ruth, Dan’s parents. The audience is invited to sing along on the songs, most of which were written in the 1930s to support the anti-fascist struggle in Spain. This is a fascinating program of history as seen through the eyes of real people – better than the History Channel!

by Ruth Lipman We have some good news to go with the sunny weather: MYRNA and BERNIE STOLLS write that they are proud-as-can-be parents of AMY STOLLS who just had her novel, Palms To The Ground published by Farrar Straus Giroux, New York. SUE TOBIASON writes, "On March 23rd, in honor of National Social Work Month, I was named 'Social Worker of the Year' of the Columbia-Presbyterian campuses of New York Presbyterian Hospital. I've worked at the Allen Pavilion for nearly fifteen years on a unit that cares mostly for heart, lung and kidney failure patients. It was a thrill to have ARTHUR see me accept my award and to get the 'Queen For A Day' treatment." Way to go, Amy and Sue! Unfortunately, we have some sad news as well. It is with great sadness that we report the passing of a great singer and musician and a truly wonderful person. Tom Gibney passed away on April 9. He will be sorely missed. Our September Series Concert will be a memorial for Tom. Date and performers to be arranged. If you have news to share, please contact me at 372 Central Park West, New York, NY 10025; 212-663-6309. We Need Your Help! The spaces we have been using for our Folk Off Broadway concerts will no longer be available to us on any regular basis. Now we are coming to you, our members, for help. Do you work or live somewhere where there is an inexpensive room that we can use for small concerts? (Manhattan location preferred.) We would need access on Friday or Saturday evenings, or alternately Sunday afternoons. In a pinch, we would even consider Thursday evenings. We would need seating for 15-45 people. Ideally, we would have 6- 7 small concerts per year. Ccontact David Kleiman, 1-212-721-9382;
Bill Staines in concert
Friday 20 May 8 p.m. at Advent Lutheran Church (Broadway at 93rd Street, Manhattan)
Photo by Larry Marcus “Any new song that can live comfortably beside the well-worn songs of folk tradition has a good chance of surviving the test of time. Such, we believe, are the songs of Bill Staines” — Sandy Paton
Bill weaves a magical blend of wit and gentle humor into his performances. His music is a real slice of Americana.
Join us for a great evening of Bill’s original compositions, inter- spersed with songs ranging from traditional folk tunes to more contemporary country ballads, many with choruses. Bill may even yodel a tune or two — he won the National Yodeling Champion- ship in 1975.
Club Series concert – free to members (a voluntary contribution is requested). General public $18; CD*NY members $15; Seniors or students $10.

- 9 - Summer Camps Here’s a piece I wrote that appeared in the CDSS News, about my two favorite camps. Following it is a humorous ‘sidebar’ that I suspected wouldn’t be included. It wasn’t. So here it is as well, assuming the Club editors are more amenable. Enjoy. By the way, Pinewoods Camp (where this club originated) will be having Folk Music Week August 27 to September 3. Should be fun, with less summer heat. Buffalo Gap in West Virginia (about an hour plus past Wash DC) will be having two one-week sessions — English and American Dance Week (with a fair amount of singing), July 9-16; and Family Week, July 16-23. A great place, but its continued existence depends on how much support it gets. Enjoy it now, just in case. CDSS can be reached at P.O.Box 338, Haydenville, MA 01039; www.cdss.org; 413-268-7426 ext. 3. Starry Camp Thoughts Buffalo gap is *one* of my two favorite places — dancing, singing, swimming, good food, the sauna, views of rolling hills, and exotic touches like the totem pole and the artfully carved floating alligator. Then there are the open spaces for admiring all those stars and the glowing Milky Way, in that crystal clear West Virginia sky. Pinewoods Camp, my *other* favorite, has its own special magic, in so many ways. Of course, all those splendid trees make the sky harder to view, though the beach and dock at Long Pond *are* out in the open — a good place to check out those heavenly bodies (the ones up in the sky). The starry vista, reflected in the shimmering waters, *is* a sight to behold. Near the end of the season, in early September 2004, I had a rare moment. I woke up between 4 and 5am — that extra beer at the goodbye party? — and the second thing I did after stepping outside was to wander over to the beach. Having viewed that striking transit of Venus across the face of the sun a few months earlier, I knew Venus would be the “morning star.” And there it was, a dazzling beacon of light, opposite the waning moon, with the first pink traces appearing in the east, and all of it mirrored in the waters of Long Pond. A truly mesmerizing sight, just for me, on that empty beach. Also up there was Orion, a reminder that winter would inevitably come, as the cycle of seasons (and changing dance venues and camps) moves along as it must. A bittersweet moment. My thanks to all the organizations, staff, callers, musicians, dancers and singers who make these places so magical to start with, and magnified by their natural beauty. —————Sol Weber **************** And now, a tongue in cheek item...... A Starry Sidebar Re those “Starry Camp Thoughts,” on the lighter side, I have a dream. Once the Pin- ewoods Board (after being plied with suitable beverages) has put in the sauna and hot tub, the next project is clearing a spot for additional sky viewing. To justify cutting down all those trees, the area would have an additional use — daytime miniature golf, with suitable dance names for the various holes — “Hole in the Ground”, “Hit or Miss”, “Hole’s Victory”, “Hands FORE!”, etc. Any other suggestions? (For folkies’ benefit, these are takeoffs of familiar dances.) Some other projects for the *far* future, to be done in a subtle manner so as to preserve the rustic nature of camp — the electronic floor in C#, with footstep imaging to follow while learning complex figures; the aerial tramways connecting distant parts of camp; tunnels for use during rainstorms, until completion of the weatherproof plastic dome covering the camp; and cute autoanimatronic raccoons that will invade your cabin just to be petted, not to eat your food. And of course, as you’re leaving at the end of the week, a computerized signboard at the exit telling you what items you forgot to pack. So, what are *your* dreams? ———Sol Weber - 10 - Spring is really here, and May will bring wonderful music. Our series concert will feature Bill Staines; there will be a Sea Music Concert, and an evening to celebrate the re-release of Pete Seeger’s book. The Folk Open Sing, Riverdale Sing, Chantey Sing, Gospel & Sacred Harp Sing, and the Sunnyside Song Circle will give you a chance to join in and make music. You can also take the Balkan Singing Workshop—remember space is lim- ited, so sign up quickly. Best of all; join us at our Spring Weekend, which will be held in a new place. Even though Camp Kislak is new to us, the music and fun will continue as always. There is still space, so sign up now! We do have sad news. Tom Gibney passed away in April. We will miss him and his gentle manner, good humor and wonderful music. Thank you to the volunteers who help to put out the newsletter each month and ensure that you get the word about what’s going on in the club and at events throughout the city.
