I.  Join us on Saturday, May 8th to hear urban folk artist Tom Conlon.  For 
more than ten years, Tom has been touring the country and charming audiences 
with great songs and an intimate, storyteller's style.  Tom's songs are 
reflective ballads, rich with emotional honesty and poetic lyricism, and his 
music combines elements of traditional folk, soul, and gospel.  Come and 
experience the music that has won over audiences all over the country.  You can 
visit him on the web at www.tomconlonmusic.com

Tom is making only a few stops in the northeast this spring.  If you're a fan, 
you'll want to catch him while he's up here - maybe more than once.  He'll also 
be playing practically next door to us at the Centre Coffee Bar on Union Street 
in Windsor on Friday, May 7th.  Live from the Grapevine at Centre Coffee is a 
monthly event sponsored by the Vineyard Church in Windsor - check it out!

We'll open the evening with a set from Wintonbury newcomer Elijah Wyman.  
Elijah is a young singer/songwriter from Boston's north shore.  He's got a bit 
of an edge and a real nice way with words.  You can hear some of his material 
at www.elijahwyman.com

The Wintonbury Coffeehouse is held on the second Saturday of the month at 
Wintonbury Baptist Church, 54 Maple Avenue, Bloomfield, Connecticut.  Starting 
time is 7:30 p.m., and the doors open at 7:00.  There is no charge for 
admission or refreshments, but a $7 donation is suggested.

II. Audio File of the Month - http://www.wintonburycoffeehouse.org/audio.htm 
"Every Moment" by Maeve.  "Save me from ever hurrying past when you walk by."  
Recorded live at Wintonbury on April 10, 2004.

III. Link of the Month - www.treebyleaf.org  We're looking forward to hosting 
Tree by Leaf on June 12th.  Visit their web site and see out what's been 
happening with this remarkable trio.

IV. Last Month's Coffeehouse - We had a great time with Maeve and Hitoshi 
Yamaguchi on April 10th, the day before Easter.  Hitoshi charmed us in his 
opening set, with his thoughtful lyrics and gentle sense of humor.  Maeve just 
keeps getting better, as you can hear on this month's audio file of the month.  
They sang us some old favorites and some brand-new songs, and brought Hitoshi 
up on stage to accompany them on bass for a few tunes.  About 90 people enjoyed 
this one along with us.

V.  Footnote to Last Month's Newsletter - Andrew Springman visited the April 
10th coffeehouse at Wintonbury and announced that his band finally has a name - 
they are now the Yokefellows!  (Or was that "Yolkfellows"?)
