Greencastle - First Fridays - November
Pete and Megan Lancaster to perform at Greencastle’s First Friday
First Friday in Greencastle on November 6 welcomes Blues musician Pete Lancaster and his daughter Megan. These Greencastle residents of three years will be performing at Fran Kenawell’s State Farm office on the square. Pete will be showcasing the various styles of Blues music, and Megan will be performing acoustically.
Peter, a Bowie, Maryland native, started his music career and lifelong love of the Blues in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a one-man band—singing, playing guitar and harmonica, and stomping on a tambourine-filled crate.
From Cleveland, Pete moved to Hagerstown where he immersed himself in the music scene. He participated in the last Hagerfest music festival and immediately began playing solo around the area. Soon, he and neighbor Carl Disque formed the duo 2 Blue. When Carl wanted to start a Blues fest in Hagerstown, Pete was on board. And so, the idea of the Western Maryland Blues Festival was formed.
To drum up interest in the festival, Carl and Pete began reaching out to the public and providing an education in the Blues. Carl would set up engagements with local organizations, and Pete would perform, explaining and playing different styles of the blues, such as Delta, Texas, Piedmont, Louisiana, and “train ride to Chicago” or electric Blues.Pete also put out the call to his fellow Blues musician and was able to line up several Blues greats for the first festival—first generation Blues artist Robert Lockwood, Jr. (stepchild of the legendary Robert Johnson who allegedly “sold his soul to the devil”), The Nighthawks, and Mr. Downchild.
Currently, Pete performs with his band, Stack O’ Blues. Members also include Arnie Helmick on bass, Alan Mason on guitar and keys, Bart Lay on drums, and Duane “D.C.” Carnes on guitar.
Megan Lancaster has been singing with her father since she was four years old and has been playing drums, bass, piano, and guitar since she was six. Megan is currently a student at the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts where she is enrolled in the music department for voice.
Megan is influenced by those whose hearts are completely in music and lives life through music. Her passions are acoustic and worship music, and she is a member of the Christian band, The Ground Between You and I. The band plays instrumental compositions in the ambient and shoegaze styles.
Both Pete and Megan are looking forward to taking part in First Friday. Hope you can stop by on November 6 and support our local talent.

Busy, Busy, Busy!
Whew! I finally got a few minutes to update my blog.
Between craft shows, Farmer's Market, 2 online shops and family functions, I've barely had time to relax. It's all worth it, but July is the busiest of the summer months. Last weekend was Sidewalk Days in Greencastle, PA. This year there were a handful of new vendors and we had a new spot on South Carlisle Street. I have to say I had a lot of fun this year and it was good to see so many familiar faces.
Next up is the farmer's Market in Mercersburg (1 date in July, 1 on August) and then the Cornfest in Shippensburg, PA!
Oh, and about a month ago we brought a new addition to the family home:
Our new little guy is about 3 months old now. We're still working on house training him, but so far he's doing great!

Sidewalk Days!
Well, another Sidewalk Days has come and gone. This year was certainly interesting! First off, we get there at 6:15 am to find that we have been moved from our spot in the square (our spot last year) to a spot up the street near Willow Tree Gifts. So, thanks to someone's poor planning, we had to make some major adjustments to our set up, going from a nearly flat space in teh street where we could use the entire 10 x10 space to a sloped (in two directions!) space where we lose a foot of our tent to the curb. Oh, and you haven't lived until you've had tractor trailers roll by your tent, about 6 to 12 inches from it!
Lance and I had to think on our feet and make the best of the space we were given. Using jewelry trays to prop up our tables on one end to keep things from sliding off and sitting out next to our spot (in the sun -- yikes!) instead of inside our tent. We had a lot of people tells that they thought we decided not to return this year since we were not in our spot from last year, but I was glad people bothered to look for us!
Overall --- despite the sunburn, tractor trailers and sloped space ---- I'd have to say we did have a great show, and I was pleased to find more people familiar with Etsy.
