>Sunday, October 4, 2pm, Little Kresge: Chasin' Gus' Ghost
>Chasin' Gus' Ghost is a documentary film on the history of jug bands 
>and their influence on American music, portrayed through interviews, 
>live performances, archival footage, and photographs. Modern 
>interviewees include John Sebastian from the Lovin' Spoonful, Bob 
>Weir from the Grateful Dead, Annie Raines, and others.  Following 
>the screening, the film's director Todd Kwait will answer audience 
>questions, and then introduce jug band Outrageous Fortune for a live 
>performance.  The audience is heartily encouraged to stick around 
>afterward to jam with the band, so c'mon down for some foot-stompin' 
>fun!
>
>Saturday, October 17, 7:30pm, Killian Hall, Building 14: Night and the Soul
>The Mixed Magic Theatre Exult Choir will perform songs and poems 
>composed by Ricardo Pitts-Wiley, our MLK Visiting Artist/Scholar, as 
>well as selected pieces from their most recent Greatness of Gospel 
>concert.  Following the performance, Mr. Pitts-Wiley will discuss 
>with the audience his non-traditional way of creating music, lyrics 
>and writing poetry as theatre.
>
>I very much look forward to seeing at these upcoming events!
