Sol "Roundman" Weber will join December 7 Song & Story Swap
Please come share in an evening of music and stories at the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society Song & Story Swap.
Saturday, December 7, 7:00 p.m. at the The Nacul Center, 592 Main St., Amherst, Mass (see map).
Guest performer for the event will be song and round leader Sol Weber.
Sol "Roundman" Weber, the Johnny Appleseed of round singing, has for decades been collecting and leading excellent rounds old and new, beautiful, funny, silly and clever.
He is the author of two rounds books: Rounds Galore and Unofficial Set of Additional Rounds, and his singing group has three rounds CDs (the third including Pete Seeger).
The Roundman has appeared at many festivals and clubs, including the Clearwater Festival, NEFFA (New England Folk Festival), the Old Songs Festival, Dance Flurry, (Seattle) Northwest Folklife Festival and The Bottom Line. He has earned the praises of Peter Schickele, CNN, The Village Voice, Sing Out!, New York Magazine and many more. Pete Seeger says "I've never met anyone who knows more rounds than Sol Weber. He surely must have more experience leading them than any other person in this entire world."
In addition to many delightful rounds, Sol always includes other sorts of fun surprises in his appearances. Come sing along. You won't want to miss any of the fun.
Additional information about Sol Weber may be found at http://www.mindspring.com/~cynthiadavid/Dsolweber.html.The theme this month is Shapes. 
The Song & Story Swap is open to the public, free of charge with donations accepted.

Listeners are welcome.
