Set List for Roots Showcase: Coffee Grounds Thurs 3/19 @ 7pm

Lynn and I doing two Thursday gigs at Coffee Houses 2 weeks in a row - this week we'll be at The Coffee Grounds as part of Bill Cagley's Roots Showcase.  We have the whole show (Bill will be in Arkansas).  Our CD will be ready and we'll bring copies.  The set list includes songs from the CD as well as some of the newer things we've learned.  This runs from 7 to about 8:45 and we're hoping for about 2 45 minute sets.  The 2nd sets starts off with 3 numbers as part of my effort to revive the Old Time String Band 12-string guitar tradition.  So far the only evidence I've found is a picture on Mike Seegar's Southern Guitar CD - this shows a 12-string made in 1927; however, the only 12 string numbers he appears to play are associated with Leadbelly - a fine musician but hardly in the old-time string band tradition.
