Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2005 01:04:56 -0700

Hi, all:

Just a quick note, passing on info from Acoustic Route shows.  Sorry about
the wrong date for the show last week - I had said it was happening on
Saturday night, whereas it had already occurred during the week.  The moral
of this story is that you should always double check on dates, particularly
if my e-mail was sent at 3:30 am!

DON'T FORGET:
Contra Dance Workshop, Saturday 4/23, at 11 am to 1:30 pm, at the Charleston
Heights Arts Center (800 S. Brush Street, near Decatur and Charleston
Blvd.). - taught by Richard Albanese from Reno Nevada. He'll provide
pointers of adding more fun to your dancing experience - as he says, add zip
and zing.  Learn more about Rich at his website:  www.WaltzWorkshop.com

AND, Old Time Barn Dance, Saturday 4/23, also at Charleston Heights Arts
Center.   Lesson at 6:30, dancing from 7 to 10.

AND, no Israeli dancing the next two Sundays, 4/24 and 5/1, and then no
dancing on 5/15.

Looking ahead to May:
English Country Dancing, on 5/9 and 5/16 at the Jewel Box Theatre.  Free
Contra Dancing, on 5/17, also at the Jewel Box, 6:30 to 8:45 pm.  Free.
Old Time Barn Dance, on May 28th with Special Guest Caller, Bev Bernbaum,
from New York and Ontario.
