Hello! Our editor apologizes, but this week has been far too busy -- and exciting -- to prepare the weekly update, as it's Rose & Shamrock festival weekend here in sunny Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Rose & Shamrock is a Celtic music (and more) festival that he founded a few years back, but after a successful three-year run it lost the venue where it was held. The festival seemed destined for the history books, but now it's back, bigger and better than ever -- and at a new location, coupled with a major Irish dance competition as well. Oh, and did I mention it's now almost entirely FREE? So, if you're within striking distance of the Lancaster area, consider coming to the Rose & Shamrock, with musical performances by Across the Pond, the Celtic Martins, Charlie Zahm & Tad Marks, Fire in the Glen, Down by the Glenside, the Kilmaine Saints and Barleyjuice!! (Tickets [$15 at the door] required for the Barleyjuice concert; everything else is free of charge.) Visit the Rose & Shamrock online at https://www.roseandshamrock.org for more information. Hope to see you there!

• • • FOLK Gerry Tully • Things Heard ... reviewed by Jerome Clark. • • • IN MEMORY I learned just a few days ago that Michael Scott Cain, a longtime writer for Rambles.NET, was in hospice care. He died on Jan. 30. Michael was a very enthusiastic reviewer, and he was proud enough of his work for this website that it was included in his obituary. He was a nice and knowledgeable guy who was truly passionate about music and books. He'll be missed. It's worth noting that, over the past dozen or so years, he wrote more than 600 reviews for this website. His love of music included folk, blues, Americana, bluegrass and jazz, and he had a particular fondness for pulp mystery novels. Just last year, he published a book, The Americana Revolution: From Country & Blues Roots to the Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, and Beyond, which was reviewed by our own Jerome Clark here.
