Folk City: New York and the Folk Music RevivalNow through November 29, 2015

at the Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Ave at 103rd St.This is a celebration of the City's role as the center of the folk music revival from its beginnings in the 1930s, to its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as its continuing legacy. There are some amazing objects - Leadbelly's 12-string, original Dylan handwritten (badly!) lyrics, record sleeves, songbooks, and more. Photos (everyone looks so young), sound stations where you can hear some field recordings and revivalists, a great montage of singers from each decade singing three songs, "Irene, Goodnight," "Midnight Special," and "If I Had a Hammer." Brilliant!Fittingly, the predominant colors are red and black.There is a new book: Folk City: New York and the American Folk Music Revival, by Stephen Petrus and Ronald D. Cohen, published by Oxford University Press, which details not only the artists but also the infrastructure of music publishers, record companies, venues, and radio shows, etc. See ad on page 21.

Summer is here, and we hope you have a wonderful one. Remember that this is a July/August issue, with festival listings, so that you might want to hold onto this issue as a reference during the summer. Aside from the Folk Open Sings, the Shanty Sings, the Irish Traditional Music Sessions, and the Sunnyside Singers Club, there are a number of other musical events. One of our favorites is the Ice Cream Social (yum) in July. Check out the singing party, and the Borderline Folk Music Club Annual Picnic.For a real treat the TradMaD camp, back at Pinewoods Camp near Plymouth, Mass, will be during the last week in August. There are still some spaces left. This will be a week to remember. We hope to see you there.Happy Birthday to long-term member, Gert Gershowitz, who is turning 95 years old on July 11th.The next newsletter mailing will be August 25th for the September issue. Thank you to all the volunteers who help us with the mailings. This month’s volunteers were Marilyn and Steve Suffet, Betsy Mayer, Don Wade and Eileen Pentel.

Share the Joy of Dance, Music & Song CDSS Summer Camps 2015

www.cdss.org/campCountry Dance & Song Society

celebrating our Centennial in 2015

We believe in the joy and strength that dance, music and song bring to people, and we see our summer camp programs as a place

for skill building, learning and sharing, and having fun. The feeling of community and laughter and learning, so evident at a camp week, whether it's Pinewoods, Ogontz or Timber Ridge, and whether your passion is contras and squares, English country dance, singing songs up into the sky, making the room rock with your music, or hanging

with friends—that feeling will go home with you. The skills learned and connections made at camp can last a lifetime and enrich lives.

Adults love it, kids thrive on it. This we know.

If you've been to our camps before, you know what we're talking about. If this will be your first year, you'll go home thinking, "They were right!"

Join us this summer. Connect with others who love what you love. Learn from them. And take that enjoyment with you to share.

Connect ◆ Learn ◆ Enjoy

Sing ◆ Dance ◆ Play

July ◆ August

Fair Trade Music 1000The FMSNY executive board has agreed to the American Federa-tion of Musicians Local 1000 Fair Trade Music principles for our concert program. In essence it means that our club agrees to pay at least union scale to the performers in those concerts, including house concerts, for which we are the primary sponsor. Our agreement does not cover non-concert events such as sing-arounds and weekends, nor does it cover concerts featuring our own club members and concerts where we are a cosponsor but from which we receive no income. For more information please visit: www.fairtrademusic1000.wordpress.com.
