I haven't posted much lately, as I've been in the USA on a fellowship and then running around on a rather full lecture schedule. But -- I thought I'd just post a note that the line up for the Country Rendez-vous festival in Craponne, France -- one of the top country and western festivals in Europe -- is now up. Click HERE

Georges Carrier has put together a very rich program highlighted by Aaron Watson, Tanya Tucker, and Rhonda Vincent. I couldn't get to the festival the past two summers, but I hope I can this year.
