The museum grounds are open for picnicking before the concert starting at 5 pm. Bring blankets or lawn chairs if you like (the museum has chairs for about 80 people.) If it looks like it might rain, call the museum at 413-584-4699 to see if we are rescheduling.

This will be our first appearance at Wednesday Folk Traditions since the release of our most recent album, "Sing for Peace, Dance for Joy." And we've added new material to our repertoire even since the release of the album.

At the June 18th concert we will be debuting two songs about our relationship to money-- one is a updated old Yiddish vaudeville song, a biting satire about the corrupting effects of money, and the second, it's antidote, is a melodic comparison of money used for good or for selfish purposes. As usual, we'll be using subtitles and other means for making sure that the non-Yiddish speakers in our audience will understand everything we're singing about.

Directions:

  1. From Interstate 91, take the Route 9, Northampton exit.
  2. Take Route 9 East across the Connecticut River to the intersection of Route 47 (about 1/2 mile).
  3. Go left on Route 47 approximately 1.6 miles.
  4. The museum is on the left.
