This week on the Shasta Serenade we have music from Mollie O’Brien and husband Rich Moore, The Ballroom Thieves, The Infamous Stringdusters (with Lee Ann Womack), the T-Sisters (Big Room January 29), John McCutcheon (Big Room January 11, and for the Oaksong Music Society at the Pilgrim January 14), Chuck Brodsky (Oaksong Music Society at the Pilgrim January 28). We also have Paper Bird, The Hello Strangers, Mandolin Orange. I also play from Bob Dylan’s Fallen Angels – his contribution to the American Songbook.  We also pay our tribute to Elvis Presley whose birthday is January 8; he would have turned 82. After this show, there are only three Serenades remaining before I retire. Please be careful out there, and stay dry. I’ll be back January 14 with a new Shasta Serenade which will include music from Booker T. Jones (Saturday, January 21 at Laxson).

Barry Hazle
Barry was a foundling in an old adobe in Southern California, adopted by nomadic Polish Gypsies, and lived with them until the age of 50. He has had no formal schooling, but learned to play the fiddle by the age of five. Throughout his early years, one could find him fiddling away in the foothills of Northern California tending his Lithuanian goats, making cheese and goat meat Kielbasa. He was renowned for his sheepherder’s bread making. He accidentally baked a rock into a particularly delicious loaf of bread, on which the chief of the gypsy clan broke a bicuspid. The clan seized his shepherd's cane and the Chief broke it in half tossing the parts to the ground. Barry was thus humiliated, and banished for life from the only family he had ever known. (Later, Barry sold the recipe for the Kielbasa to the NHL for a small fortune – they use it in the manufacturing of hockey pucks).
