Wednesday, June 25th, SOUNDS OF SUMMER CONCERT SERIES, near York, PA
Yes, Wednesday! And on that Wednesday evening, what a thrill it was to walk out in front of well over 1,000 fans of American rock'n'roll at this extraordinary concert facility! FANTASTIC! Kudos to parks and recreation director David Wendel. Also to 'My Wife's Sound Company'; THANKS DON! You guys really spoiled us!

Sunday, June 29th, Upper Moreland Park Concert Gazebo: With 50 or so folks already in their seats and clouds threatening overhead, we started early. When it started to shower, those folks brought out their umbrellas and NOT ONE LEFT! Guess what? The rain gave up and 150 more people came strolling in the evening sun. Thanks Upper Moreland, and special thanks to the couple dancing around the jogging track!

Hands up for ELVIS!

The Rivers in Schools!

Goshen Friends School - March 2008 - The hands go up when Elvis appears on the wall during Rivers guitarist Stu Frederick's presentation on the earliest hits of rock'n'roll. Students enjoyed and participated in this interactive lecture which included a "please touch" session with several of Stu's guitars!

School officials had this to say...

"Stu Frederick’s presentation on the origins of rock and roll was age appropriate, engaging and throroughly entertaining. His love of music, children, and teaching was infectious. Totally cool daddy-o!"
- Michelle Blackwell, Development Officer, Goshen Friends School

"Stu had all the children interested and totally involved. From the study of the early 50’s through the times of Elvis, the combination of power point, questions and answers, playing of the guitar and laughter kept the children engrossed for almost one hour. It was a superb and invigorating demonstration."
- Tom Richards, Head of School, Goshen Friends School
