Uke Man presents: Steve the Folkie Night

Hey Folks and Folkies and Music-lovers and Lefties,
Saturday, March 12 is “Steve the Folkie Night at Shi-Sha’s.” Steve Horn will leave eastern Pennsylvania and find his way to Shi-Sha’s Lounge and Espresso Bar (2367 N. High Street right here in Columbus, Ahia!!) where he will share his creative talents with us.
The evening begins at 9:30 and will present FIVE (count them) FIVE acts - into the late hours. In addition to Steve will be Ukulele Man & Pete, Connie Harris, Don Nelson, and Fred Baily & Friends with Charlotte Curtis and Pam Raver. A great line-up!!
You don’t get a FOLK show like this very often; so, old and young hippies! Activists! peace-mongers! free-thinkers! & kindred souls! COME ENJOY!!

A little more about Steve:
On his yahoo group site Steve has this to say:

I'm a singer songwriter along the lines of Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Woodie Guthrie and a host of others - it's about what's going on in the world and commenting on it.A wobblie (member of the IWW), labor and labor history weave their way into my works along with a strong anit-war statement and distrust of government.
Joe Hill was probably one of the first protest singer/songwriters in the United States – he, too, was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World and was killed for his union activities in Utah - although they persecuted him on a trumped up murder charge - anyhow that's Joe.

Tom - thanks for all the hard work that you put into getting a steve the folkie night out in Columbus - man - what a GREAT time! Long drive - hit every kinda weather I could imagine on the trek out from New Oxford PA but it was MORE than worth it - a great night of music, making friends, meeting people and just hanging out - and think - we managed to capture most of it and get the whole night out on CD!
Way freaking cool man!
