Mark Indictor's Upcoming Appearances
as of Sunday, May 21, 2006

Hello again!

I whipped off yesterdayÕs list in a hurry, and left out some important stuff! I also had a few inaccuracies that I hadnÕt planned on. So, here is yesterdayÕs FiddleMan again, with the corrections. Please accept my apologies.

By the way, Skirball went very well yesterday. The acoustics were fantastic, and the audience was very receptive. They treated us very nicely, too!

One of the things I forgot to mention is a rare opportunity to catch me fiddlinÕ with Acadiana up at PirateÕs Dance Hall in Oxnard on June 4th. If you like Cajun, Zydeco, and blues, you canÕt miss this show.

Also, I forgot to mention a very special appearance with Ed Berghoff. Ed is an extraordinary songwriter who has penned tunes for Garth Brooks, Doug Stone and Wynonna Judd, to name just a few. We will be performing some of his songs together in an acoustic, songwriters-in-the-round format at HallenbeckÕs in North Hollywood on June 6th. Check out the details in the calendar below.

Once again, IÕd like to extend a heart-felt welcome to the newest members of my humble list. ItÕs great to see new people at least thinking about coming to some of my gigs.

I managed to make it through the St. PatrickÕs day season in one piece (mostly), and we had some really nice shows between then and now. The Cowboy Poetry Festival in Santa Clarita was even better this year. As is their custom, they treated us with great respect, and all of the entertainers there put on incredible shows. I recommend this event highly Ð so next year when it comes around, make sure you donÕt miss it.

There are some new and interesting gigs added. Some of them I donÕt have full details on, but I put them in anyway as place holders. IÕll send out another FiddleMan newsletter before the dates arrive to clarify any ambiguities. And as always, donÕt hesitate to drop me a line if you have questions, of if I flake out and forget to fill in a time or a date.

DonÕt forget: Border Radio will be playing TODAY at 3:00pm at the Topanga Banjo & Fiddle Contest (map). Come out and join us!

Fianllay, a very rare and exciting new engagement has come up. I will be appearing in a production of

Shows will be on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from June 16th through July 3rd at the Palm Springs Pavilion Theater. This show is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer. It is based on a true story about Cline's friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger. In addition to the two female leads, there is a five-piece band. This is the fourth time I have appeared in this play, and the second time with Sally Struthers. John Randal has been the musical director each time, and the show is a lot of fun. There are over twenty numbers in the show, all Patsy Cline classics. Call (866) 877-6779 for more info.

And finally, with all of the unrest and violence currently being perpetrated around the world in the name of what is right and wrong, I thought it would be nice to consider once again the simplicity of peace, compassion, and kindness to each other. There are so many Òcrimes against humanityÓ being committed at all levels every day. There is child abduction, sexual abuse and murder, corporate greed, suicide bombers, and terrorists. The list is painfully and alarmingly long, and it has become the focus of the entire world. With all of our energy trained on these hideous Òtruths,Ó it is not that surprising that they continue to escalate. I suggest a simple change of focus: to consider the goodness of our friends and colleagues, the true nature of the good people that we know, both personally and by reputation. To ponder the nature of peopleÕs differences and similarities. To try and find the commonalities within each other, and allow ourselves to disagree, even in areas of faith and religion. To observe and try to understand the symbols used by others, and relate them to our own, celebrating that we all want the same basic things, and ask different divine sources to satisfy our desires. To question the wisdom of requiring others to conform to our way of life and our brand of reverence. I personally do not think it is natureÕs intent to create the very hell we are trying to avoid right here on our little planet as a result of making sure that we donÕt go to hell when we die. So letÕs stop now.

See you at the gig.
