NEWSLETTER MAILING; Thursday, August 31st; 7 PM We need your help to mail out the next Newsletter.

John Langstaff Memorial Symposium and Celebration Saturday, September 30 The evening celebration will be at the Church of the Holy Apostles, 28th St. & 9th Ave. starting at 8:00. Come early, seats are very limited. The daytime symposium will probably be at the same place, but we are looking at other possibilities. The sympo- sium centers on central aspects of Jack’s professional life: Music, Dance & Move- ment 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 Coo- per, John Roberts, Larry Rosenwald, Paddy Swanson, Jerry Epstein, Keith Kendrick.. 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, there will be opportunities for all to participate in singing and dancing, – all to inspire re-dedication to Jack’s vision. Jack was a unique inspiration to all of us and to countless thousands around the country and the world. The event is free to all, but seats are likely to be at a premium and we continue to need financial contributions to support this event. We need to raise $7000. If you can help, please send a check, made out to FMSNY, to Heather Wood (address on the masthead). The event is also sponsored by the New York Revels, and co-sponsored by Country Dance & Song Society, Inc., and Revels, Inc.

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

- 7 - Summer is here and you can see how musical it will be. Remember that this is our July/ August double issue. You may want to keep it to refer to all summer. Not only have we listed our events, but this issue contains festival listings around the area as well, (in- cluding Folk Music Week at Pinewoods Camp in Massachusetts). The Sea Music concerts continue every Tuesday in July, (see the schedule)-wonderful talent and a fun place to be in the summer. We have Folk Open Sings, and Chantey Sings. Thank you to the Cohens for the Sing and Swim party and to the Ritchie/ Pickows for the Picnic and Sing Party. We always have a great time at these events! We are having a problem with the Fall Weekend. The new place we had reserved has not returned our calls, etc. We have therefore been looking for another site and there are some possibilities. However, we may also have to change the date as well. We will be sending out more information as soon as possible. If you are not yet on our e-mail contact list, send your e-mail address to [email protected] and we will notify you as soon as we know. As you can imagine, the board members are very unhappy about the situation and are doing our best to remedy it. 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. They could always use more help. For the last newsletter thank you to: Herb Feuerlicht, Isabel Goldstein, Brenda Pena, Mariann Perseo, Anne Price, Marcus Tieman, and Don Wade who also delivered the pages from the printer. And a special thanks to Nancy Keness for the use of her office. Won’t you join us and help mail out the next newsletter on Thursday, August 31? (See page 4.)
Margaret MacArthur We are sad to report the death of Vermont singer and collector Margaret MacArthur in May from the extremely rare Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Margaret was a wonderful person, with a warm sense of humor and a fund of songs, many of which she had collected. She loved working with children, pro- ducing a book and cassette of songs she had helped children in Vermont to make, encouraging them to ask their parents and grandparents for stories. She came to The Renaissance Charter School in Queens, under a grant we had received from the Annenberg Foundation, and did the same kind of thing. At her memorial, which was a semi-private affair held at her lovely home on MacArthur Road in Brattleboro, Vermont, around 200 people came to pay their respects, including her large family, many local friends, and a few from the folk world: Gordon Bok, John and Tony, Cindy Mangsen, Andy Cohen, and myself. It was a low-key afternoon of reminiscences and a few songs. I remember at the 2004 Eisteddfod, in a ballad workshop, we were keeping a "body-count" of all the deaths in the various ballads that were being sung. We'd got up to about 13 in various ballads. Margaret gave us "King Henry Fifth's Con- quest of France" - with the line "we killed ten thousand of the French." Trumped us all! -- Heather Wood Our Traditional Music Festival Eisteddfod-NY: November 17-19, 2006 - 8 - For addresses, times, phone numbers, and other details, see the location information on p.11, following this list.
