    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

In a world filled with divisive, negative news, we seek to discover, create and celebrate good news. How we have grown!

We have just the right mixture of folks who’ve been around awhile and those who are relatively new to performing. For instance we all know who Dr. Elmo is, by his famous song “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” though we’re not all familiar with his bluegrass leanings through his band “Wild Blue” Kathy Kallick is another long-time SoCoFoSo favorite. She headlined one of our original Sonoma County Folk Fes- tivals in 999 and it’s certainly time to have her again on the Community Center Stage. This time, Kathy comes with a newly assembled band fresh from rave reviews throughout the Bay Area. The word is a CD is coming at the end of April but meanwhile, the live performance at this festival is our only chance to hear her great music in Sonoma County.
