Lunch with Peter Rowan, The City Never Sleeps, The Fabulous Sounds

Lunch with Peter Rowan

One time I had lunch with Peter Rowan at a friend's house in Latham. I should have asked him about Bill Monroe but instead I asked him if the semi-tones in Indian music resolved the problem of temperament. Ach. Anyways, apparently Peter Rowan heard about the show I was doing at Caffe Lena on January the 13th, entitled "Celebrating a Century of Bill Monroe: A Mandolin Tribute to the Father of Bluegrass." Of course, the world probably had not heard much about Bill Monroe until he was in his twenties, so perhaps the title is a little misleading. But the event is meant to recognize the centennial of the man's birth by picking some of his music. Peter Rowan, and The Travelin McCourys, they must have heard we were doing this, because they're doing something similar. You can catch them up in Burlington VT on April 20th. Cool. Check this out if you'd like to learn some more about everything.
