From Heather Kropf:
I'm playing a songwriter circle with 3 other artists tonight at Club Cafe. If you need to catch up on some knitting or Sudoku please think of how much more enjoyable it will be with live music. 'Cause it will be.

Q: Captain, how long must we go along with this charade?
Was Bob Dylan really a FILK artist?
What is FILK?
Find out Saturday, March 18 at FILK Night at The Starlite.

Crewman: Captain, how long must we go along with this charade?
Captain Kirk: I'll go along with this charade till I can think my way out!

That's from an episode of Star Trek, also quoted in Bob Dylan's song, "Tight Connection to My Heart" from his Empire Burlesque album.
Dylan's songs are loaded with movie quotes, literary quotes, one-liners from television shows, etc.

We'd like to invite you to The Starlite on Saturday evening for another FILK Night. FILK is the folk music of science fiction and fantasy. They like to sing. They're blessed with the gifts of language and imagination. They're simply brilliant and interesting and fun to be around.

See you at 8:00.

Grandpa Had A Muley Cow
What's a muley cow? You wouldn't have to ask that question if you was properly studied up on your Bluegrass Music.

The Stanley Brothers sang:

Grandpa had a muley cow, muley since she was born.
It took a jaybird forty years to fly from horn to horn.

This Friday, Bluegrass Night returns to The Starlite Lounge, hosted by Howard Davidson and Friends. Music gets started around 8:00 or so. And we'd love for you to bring your children along.

Saturday Night is Gardyloo Fanzine Songwriters Night featuring Dan Peluso, Ithy Boy Bong, Jack Knight and Jeff DeSantis.

The Threepenny Opry Series is sponsored by Calliope, The Pittsburgh Folk Music Society.

And if you're drinking beer at The Starlite, we highly suggest you have a Yuengling (our kind sponsor)!!
