Hello Everyone - Welcome back to NetRhythms,

Turn your sound up LOUD!

***************************************************
It's a typical ENGLISH SUMMER's day and the weather outside calls for Wellington boots. The following YouTube clip is from Perpetuum Jazzile (from Slovenia). They use only hands and feet - and you can get the thrill of summer weather - all from the comfort of your computer chair! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPnNfIJ3zSU&feature=related

***************************************************
Another reminder that Summer is here is the upcoming FAIRPORT'S CROPREDY CONVENTION. The Irish artist, MARC CARROLL, has recently done a version of Matty Groves. You can view it at the following link.

***************************************************
CHRIS SMITHER's new CD Time Stands Still will be out in September and it's as good as anything he's ever recorded (NetRhythms has them all!). "Mixing up elements of old-time Lightening Hopkins licks, fervent folk finger-picking, and glorious southern delta sojourns, Smither is an original American storytelling master whose emergence in the early 70s heralded the arrival of a major player on the scene who, over the last twenty or so years has really carved his own niche for quality, lovingly-crafted songwriting and performing." Watch the video of the making of the album - by Kathy Wittman www.kathywittman.com/video/smither09.html
