| Common Fence Music is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization dedicated to
presenting concerts of traditional, world and other genres of music that are
underplayed and under-promoted by the radio and recording industry. |
| The concerts are held at the Common Fence Point Community Hall in
Portsmouth, RI, a fifties-style dance hall with great live sound. The
atmosphere is congenial and the audience attentive and supportive. There is
table seating with soft drinks, freshly baked desserts, and homemade soup
for sale. |
| Doors open one hour before the concert, so bring a picnic dinner to enjoy

| The Franco-Americans, Rhode Island Contra Dance Band - Cousins Linette Charpentier and Colette Fournier are classically trained
violinists. Their folks came from the Quebec region, however, and their
strong, harmonized fiddle playing is the core of The Franco-Americans'
sound. Although they play traditional New England chestnuts for contra
dancing, they also add some French vocals. Colette's sister, Edith
Fournier-Farias, sometimes joins in on keyboard. |
| Jim Chapin and Buster Silva play zingy string rhythms. Jim and wife,
Colette, mix in a few duets as well. So it's a family affair. |
| Deck's people hail from Nova Scotia. His grandmother always walked around
with a harmonica in her apron pocket, and his father continued to play the
old Nova Scotian fiddle tunes after settling in West Warwick with his five
brothers, not far from the Fournier's house. |
| The Franco-Americans also play traditional spoons and feet, to emphasize the
beat. Deck handcrafts the beautiful wooden spoons, as well as fiddles, which
he, Colette and Linette often play. |

soulful ballads in memory of soldiers and civilians before, during and after

fires, in the saloons, at minstrel shows and on the wagon trains moving out
west to establish this great land of ours. |
