Franco-American Collection Program

Salut and Happy New Year all,

I hope you're enjoying the music and sharing it with your family and friends. Just a quick note to let you know about an live online program I'll be doing through the University of Southern Maine's Franco-American Collection at Lewiston-Auburn College. Here's the link for more information and to register to join us next Monday, Januray 25th at 4pm. Hope many of you can participate.

Hopefully we can join together in person before too long, but meanwhile please stay safe and healthy and keep in touch until we meet again.

Warm wishes,

Rob

Acadian Folksong Project

Dear Friends,

 

The time has finally come!

 

You probably know that I’ve been working on this project for almost 20 years.  Now I’m ready to share my life’s work with the world and I want to thank you for supporting me along the way.  I feel a great deal of privilege and responsibility for the material I’ve inherited from my ancestors and now I have an opportunity to bring it to life, in a powerful way.

 

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/robert-sylvain-plays-memere-s-notebook--2/

 

Please, please, please consider backing this important piece of our history, our heritage, our culture. This music is dear to my heart, and I’m asking you personally to do what you can to help me move forward.  The double-CD ad songbook will be pricey to produce, but worth every penny.  Buy one now and you’ll be getting it at cost.

 

Merci beaucoup,

Robert
