Welcome!

Newbie? Nice to meet you! Old friend? Thanks for coming back!

Kerhonkson, Farewell.

I'm fighting off the noddy weariness of two days  of 3 hours of sleep, playing music all night with friends and listening to some of the best folk music this side of the Mississipi!

The Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) conference is a regional gathering of performers, agents, DJs  managers, musical instrument manufacturers and all kinds of people associated to the folk music world.  We took over the Hudson Valley Resort in Kerhonkson, New York and revitalized each other with song, fellowship and fascinating ideas.

As my bio indicates, I have had the joy of playing all kinds of music in the many years that I've been a performing musician, but none have the sense of community and support that pervades the folk music world; seen in clear relief at a NERFA conference.

Once I've rested and recovered a bit it'll be on to my next project; producing and playing behind one of the greatest interpreters of song I've ever had the honor of working with. Mmlle Mimi Nowack.  Then it'll be back to the continuing advernture that is the art of songwriting and the art of performance.  And I look forward to seeing you.  So keep a watch on my calendar and I'll watch out for you.  

While ambling around my web site, if a brainstorm about it hits you, I would love to hear it! For the tekkies out there, I maintain my own site, mostly in static html. 'Got an idea for something fancier? I'm listening. Drop me a note. And If you'd just like to join my mailing list or talk music, that'd be fine too!   Please write me at hermusgp@garypaulhermus.com

BTW - I share my mailing list with no one!
