Last year a group of us had a wonderful evening with Radoslav Lorkovic 
<http://www.radoslavlorkovic.com/> playing classical/blues/jazz and a variety of 
other music.  For the past few years before her recent death, he was Odetta's 
accompaniest.

He will be in concert at our house on February 13th.  Dessert, coffee and tea at 
6:30 or so; the concert will begin at 7:30.

We live at 5 Litchfield Lane, Champaign 
<http://maps.google.com/maps?q=5%20Litchfield%20Lane,%2061820>.

 From his website: "Drawing from a multitude of influences ranging from elegant 
classical and jazz styles to the rawest, most basic blues, country and soul, 
Radoslav Lorkovic has taken on an unusually broad musical spectrum and refined 
it into his distinctive piano stlye. His tenure on the R&B and folk circuits has 
culminated in five critically acclaimed solo recordings and numerous appearances 
on the recordings of and performances with artists including Odetta, Jimmy 
LaFave, Ribbon of Highway Woody Guthrie Tribute, Greg Brown, Richard Shindell, 
Ellis Paul, Dave Moore, Andy White and Bo Ramsey. His twenty year touring career 
has led him from the taverns of the upper Mississippi River to the castles of 
Italy, The Canary Islands, The Yup'ik villages of Alaska and Carnegie Hall."

A donation for the musician will be requested -- all goes directly to Radoslav.

We have room for about 40 folks, so please reserve a place in advance.  Call me 
if you'd like more information.

I hope you might be able to join us.  Please feel free to invite others if you 
would like.  Radoslav is quite terrific.
