TestingTesting comes around every two weeks and tonight is the night. TestingTesting is an hour long (or so) music show I webcast from my living room. We usually have a special guest backed up by the TestingTesting House Band but tonight will be special — the TestingTesting House Band will be the special guest. That will be Derek Parrott on guitar and vocals; Joane Rouse on mandolin and vocals, and sometimes guitar, dobro, and banjo; and Steve Showell on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, and vocals (usually) and sometimes penny whistle. The TestingTesting House Band will be playing at the Folklife Festival Saturday night and will be playing their Folklife Festival set, tonight, that they have been working on. This means they have actually be practicing! Click on in. Enter you comments in the guestbook so that I can read them to the House Band — live!

You will be able to see them live at the Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center. They will be playing at the Exhibition Hall Lawn Stage Saturday night at 8:20pm. Come on down and meet the entire TT crew!
