On Saturday, January 13, 2007, Ebony & Ivory will perform in the Ukiah Community Concert Association's annual concert series, as part of the Duo's Western tour. The Ukiah Community Concert Association, active for more than 40 years, brings well-known professional entertainers to Ukiah four times a year. Nestled in a beautiful valley in the center of the coastal range of mountains, the City of Ukiah has been ranked the Best Small Town in California, and the sixth best in the United States. This appearance by Ebony & Ivory is due to the efforts and support of David Crew and George Husaruk.

Many of you may already be familiar with Sonicbids, an online resource that provides one-stop shopping for presenters and concert promoters. According to their website, "Sonicbids is a simple alternative to the endless clutter of physical press kits that is exchanged daily between musicians and the people who promote music."

In early November 2005, following Ebony & Ivory's successful concert at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Andrew, his mother Carol, and Fred were interviewed by Beatrice Ekoko for Radio Free School, an all-volunteer show by, for and about Unschoolers/Home Learners. Beatrice's eldest daughter Evelyna was also present, and contributed to the interview. Many topics were covered during the discussion, including Andrew's self-taught approach to music, his mother's unique views on the importance of the family and of trusting children to pursue their interests in their own way, and Fred's experiences at the Juilliard School of Music.

We are happy to offer an MP3 of the interview, as well as a complete transcription. You can find it all on our website at www.ebonyandivory.ca/rfsinterview.php
