Flash: July-August Local Lore

Here's a beautifully-timed issue of Local Lore: just as Covid is getting a little less scary, Local Lore invited a number of musicians to look back over the last two years Covid years and talk about how they managed to keep making music when the world turned upside down. Thanks to MaryAnne Mooreman, Mike Burdette and Lisa Lynne for sharing your personal stories.

 

Plus lots more: We unveil the 2022-23 PFS Concert Series, and it's pretty much guaranteed that you will find some personal favorites among the performers. Check them out! There's news about the Northwest Autoharp Gathering 2022, and a look at Founder Jay Dickinson and partner Max Dickinson, the luthiers behind new PFS Business member Portland Guitar. This month's Take 5 profiles Darrell Scott, a multi-instrument performer and studio musician. Membership Coordinator Jinx Kuehn gives a recap of the very successful Strawberry Social, held in person after a two year break on June 5. And more.
