Like the rest of our more or less civilized world, Sandy has her favorite links elsewhere on the Web—and would like to share them with you. Enjoy! FOLK MUSIC DESTINATIONS
• Sandy recommends Women with Guitars, run by Hawaii-transplant Chicagoan Kim Char Meredith. Women with Guitars is a program and series of showcases that spotlight the variety of women's guitar styles and the role of the guitar in women's music. • Andina & Rich are Chicago singer/songwriter/humorist Sandy Andina and Madison, WI singing cowboy comedian/songwriter Stephen Lee Rich. They have decades of experience on coffeehouse, festival, cabaret, and comedy club stages as well as on radio and cable television. Each has a solo CD, but you can also hear them both on "The Preppy Comedy Album" (Eclipse, 1981, vinyl, out-of-print) and the Travenia Records compilation CD, "Tappin' Out a Rhythm, Pickin' Out a Tune" (December 2004) on which each of them has several songs along with the rest of Travenia's talented roster of artists. They perform throughout the Upper Midwest (and can grace your own stage if you ask them!). "Because We Can" is their first joint CD (Spring 2005). Visit Steve's Web site or contact him by email.. • SASS! is songwriters Sandy Andina and Susan Urban from Chicago, Illinois. The SASS! Trio adds the talents of Kate Early.
