Welcome     In the mid-80's some folks in Flagstaff, Arizona took a notion to form a club for the purpose of playing acoustic music, playing and dancing at the Contra dances they would host, bringing in local, regional, and nationally recognized entertainment for the enjoyment of the community, and sharing this good fun with whoever wanted to take part in it. The good times have been many and through the years the Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music realizes we are part of a larger body of people throughout the land who share the love of the music that unites us. This web site is a continuance of this notion.   CONTACTS Calendar of Events/Concerts Flagstaff Folk Festival Young Jammers Program Webmaster Newsletter Editor   Past issues of the FFOTM newsletters are Here - Submit newsletter articles or suggestions Here. - Join FFOTM !-   FFOTM 2010 Officers and Board of Directors Michael Satterwhite - President Julie Sullivan - Vice President Teresa Wayne - Secretary Bill Vernieu - Treasurer   Ryan Heinsius Mike Reddig  Linda Mack Mark Alesander FFOTM Governance Documents (by-laws, minutes) Visit some of our friends!
