'Morrow: Make Music Middletown Means Meandering Mudpuppies

From Dave Downs
--------------
Hey Kids!, Lonesome Dave here.  How ya doing?  Hope you're doing well.

Did you know that this Friday, June 21st, 2019 is International Make Music Day?  That's the day (which always falls on the summer solstice, by the way) where musicians- off various shapes and sizes and levels of expertise- take to city streets all the world over, and play music anywheres and everywheres.  For Free!  On the street corners; in the libraries, the cafes, the restaurants, the music shops, the book stores, down the alleyways, up in the trees dangling from branches, down in the sewer systems..... 

And Middletown's no different.  So this Friday you're invited to come by and say hello to us- The Mudpuppies (consisting of me, Lonesome Dave- or LD- and Really Big Brian- or RBB) while we perform our unique style of Americana, first at the award-winning Russel Library (at Broad Street; 347-2528) from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.; and then later at the beautiful R.J. Julia Bookstore (at 413 Main Street, 685-3939) from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m.

In addition to original and Public Domain material,  RBB and I (on well-amplified acoustic guitars and vocals) put our unique Mudpuppy spin on songs popularized by such American writers and performers as Eric Anderson, Steve Earl, Hank Cochran, Rogers & Hart, The Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson and Andy Williams.  Perhaps we'll toss in a music trivia question or two, or a couple CD give-a-ways, as well.  (Don't forget to ask Really Big Brian about the unique tuning style he employs on his six-string.)  See ya then, Kids.
