Dear Dancing Pigs fans and supporters,
We hope that you don't fall down in shock and surprise from your receipt of the
very first Cincinnati Dancing Pigs Newsletter, to which you so kindly
subscribed, probably months ago. Perhaps this might even mean that some
of the Pigs will have newsworthy things to contribute to a regular newsletter
in the future. We'll see. You know how Pigs are.
But, it seems appropriate to start off Newsletter #1 with the fact that the
Pigs just appeared last Monday on "Michael Jonathon's Old Time Radio
Hour", a live Internet broadcast, at http://www.woodsongs.com. Now you might ask,
"Wouldn't it have been nice to notify the newsletter group ahead of time,
so that they could have watched the show?" Yes, we can't believe we
didn't do this either, but, the full broadcast is available at the Woodsongs Archives, at http://www.woodsongs.com/showlist.asp
We are Show Number 426, in case our listing gets scrunched down the screen
before you get to it.
To say that we were pleased and privileged to be on this very high quality live
Internet broadcast is an understatement. Michael Jonathon and his
volunteers put on a weekly Internet show of very talented people, just some of
whom have been: Michael Murphey, J.D. Crowe, Chris Thile, Maria Muldaur, Charlie Musselwhite, Janis Ian, The John Cowan Band, Roger McGuinn, Bela Fleck, and lots,
lots more. We were even asking ourselves how they picked US to be on
it! It turns out someone knew about us because of the Louisville Jug Band
Jubilee where we performed this summer (yes, another missed opportunity for a
newsletter mailing). We understand that this broadcast will
be on various PBS stations around the country, FM radio stations and XM
satellite radio sometime soon. Three upcoming broadcasts that we would
recommend are "The Carolina Chocolate Drops", who are an Old Time
band we played with at
Thanks,
The Pigs
