[FA Worldmusic] Memphis world music ideas?

[David Gaar]

Marco,

I suggest that y'all check in with Judy Peiser at the Center for Southern 
Folklore there in Memphis, as she would have a good grasp on the scene.

I just took a glance at her website and, curiously enough, she has Lubos 
Bena - A Slovakian Blues performer - booked at the Center on 10/27.
