January-February Local Lore is Out!

For those of you who receive a paper copy - well, you already know that the January-February Local Lore is out, and it is an issue full of good stuff.

Profiles of the PFS concert series guest artists, of course. A look at some books exploring pop music over the last 40 years. An article about Astoria's annual Fisher Poets gathering. A piece about the Portland Folk Festival. A delightful description of some of his time in Ireland by David Ingerson. How to be at an open mic event. A song. And more! It's an outstanding issue.

And, you can read the current issue, and back issues, on this site under the Resources menu!

Annual Members Meeting
Cecilia Eng at Annual Meeting 2020

Thanks to everyone who helped put on the PFS Annual Members Meeting today (January 18); that includes those who helped with invitations, logistics, food, and the 15 members who each sang one song for us. We promised good food, good music and plenty of both, and it seemed like the forty plus people who came thought the meeting delivered both of those.

Next year: more of the same, in a bigger venue!
