A local band called the Old Grey Cats will make its Big Scioty debut on April Fools’ Day. Consisting of Dave Notman on fiddle, Harold Cheyney on keyboard and Margaret Goodman on flute and whistle, the trio plays a variety of old-time, Irish and French Canadian tunes. Add the dances of Athens caller Kim Thompson, and you get an evening guaranteed to put a spring in your step and a smile on your face. No fooling!
