“Paul’s Old Folkies,” a hand-selected group of musicians from Pacifica Harmony Chorus, will lead a “Folk-Song Sing-Along” 7 p.m., Friday at Main Street Café and Books in downtown Los Altos.

Members of “Paul’s Old Folkies” promise “beautiful vocal harmonies, supported by three talented guitarists,” to fill your evening with the sounds of traditional American folk music.

A partial song list includes: “Clementine,” “She’ll be Comin’ Round the Mountain,” “Don’t Fence Me In,” “Sweet Betsy From Pike,” “Home on the Range,” “Cotton Fields,” “Down by the Riverside,” “The Riddle Song,” “Kisses Sweeter than Wine,” “Down in the Valley,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “The MTA,” “Lonesome Traveler,” “On Top of Old Smokey,” “The Red River Valley,” and “The Whole World in His Hands.”

Lyric sheets will be provided for all audience members, and, as one member of the group put it, “vocal participation is NOT an option.”

The event also will feature wine, coffee and dessert. Singing starts at 7:30 p.m. Main Street Café and Books is located at 134 Main St., Los Altos.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

When members of the Los Altos Village Association first created the summer movie nights, they anticipated an event that would attract more residents downtown as a way to promote business.

What they didn’t anticipate was an influx of middle schoolers, or that parents would use the weekly Friday night affair as an opportunity to drop off their children and have someone else (in this case, the Village Association) effectively watch over them.
