2. Albuquerque Folk Festival is this Saturday, June 17th, at the State Fairgrounds. At eight or ten stages and tents, you can participate in everything from dance lessons to music workshops, listen to storytellers and every imaginable genre of New Mexico music. Pat Neff gives a beginning guitar workshop at 11:00; Rusty Strings & the Flat Tones do a folk blues workshop at 1:00 and host the "Jam with the Band" tent at 5:00. Details & a map at http://www.abqfolkfest.org A great day for music & dance for kids of all ages and ability levels, whatever instrument(s) you play. Entry fee and parking fee, but a bargain for what you may see, hear, & do.
3. Pat Neff and Jim Sayers play with Kelly Mortenson's Hillbilly Mojo Band at the Lion's Club Rodeo at Red Rock State Park this weekend, June 17-18. Details available on local radio and the Gallup Independent.
