Bob Milne
Whether he is playing a gently swinging classic Missouri rag, setting fire
to the piano with a knockout boogie-woogie or syncopating a traditional tune
like Wabash Cannonball, Bob leaves the audience gasping in awe.
He shares historical tidbits about ragtimes heyday between piano pieces
and always keeps the audience captivated. Although Bob Milne is now a highly
soughtafter performer for presidents, heads of state and other high-profile
groups, he still enjoys touring the country and playing for small-town audiences.
It is no wonder that in 2004 Bob was designated a National Treasure by the
Library of Congress. web site

The Grass Valley Male Voice Choir
In Cornwall, England, the male voice choir tradition goes back as far as
anyone can remember. Cornish miners came to Grass Valley during the Gold
Rush of 1849 when their skills in hard rock mining were needed to extract
gold from the earth. With them came their rich tradition of singing. An all
male voice choir sang in Grass Valley for over 90 years. As gold mining faded
in Grass Valley so did the male voice choir. Thanks to her passion and love
of these traditions, Eleanor Kenitzer founded the Cornish Carol Choir in
1990 and then gave life to the current Grass Valley Male Voice Choir in 1997.
The choir toured Cornwall in 2000 and 2002.

Tom Rigney and Flambeau
Voted Best Cajun/Zydeco Band of 2004 by the West Coast Blues Hall of Fame,
Tom Rigney, the fiery, electrifying violinist/composer, joins with some ofthe
finest musicians on the San Francisco scene to form Tom Rigney and Flambeau.
The music bursts with the energy of the bayou one minute, turns passionate
with a gypsy tune the next, can raise the roof with a Celtic reel, then touch
the soul with a beautiful waltz. Flambeau specializes in fiery Cajun and
zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, and heartbreakingly
beautiful ballads. Tom is the son of baseball great, Bill Rigney.
