Yellow Springs inaugurated its first PorchFest last Saturday, Oct. 6, a musical round-robin affair that had villagers and visitors walking to porches, driveways and backyards to hear a wide array of local musicians perform. The seven-hour event was spread out over 20 locations and hosted 38 acts. More pictures, in hi-fi color, online at ysnews.com/featurephotos.

    Well, MMinde, FYI,I didn’t want to use an email address because of the little quilt flag that apparently is ascribed to each email and does the tracking. Just for variety’s sake I thought it might look more colorful and interesting to mix it up some since so many of the damned comments are mine anyway. At least the ones you selectively decide to publish which must be of some benefit to your establishment or interest or you wouldn’t publish them. There is very little privacy online and I’m sure you recognize an IP address so why are you playing dumb. Who knows. You say you publish ‘anonymous comments’, so why try to market at people for wanting to remain anonymous????????

    geesh! And another thing, there is no listing for these music events in your online calendar. Not everyone can afford your paper paper and many keep up with the neighborhood online like this so if you all want to get all crappy faced about it, I can just stop looking at it here too!

    Thanks anyway.

    Did they ever get any ventilation in that broom closet? or has everyone just thrown caution to the wind from sheer boredom?

    Hello Babo! The May 5 issue of the News had a photo on page 3, with the accompanying caption: “Smiles and songs filled the back room of the YS Arts Council on April 16 during the monthly YS Hootenanny. The community music program, which celebrates 11 years in 2022, returned this spring after a nearly-two-year hiatus. Though the camera could only photograph half the room, it was filled to capacity.” Please check the YS News Community Calendar and listings throughout the paper. By the way, if you’d left your actual email, I could have responded to you directly and sent links.

    Is this going to happen again and could there be one this Summer? Also, are the Hootenanny and Ukulele groups meeting up again? Haven’t seen any listings under community events. Sure miss the interaction with musicians. Be well. Best wishes. Peace
