“New” Organization
Comes To Port Ludlow!
Everything changes with time, and the use and application
of technology is possibly the most rapidly evolving.
When the Port Ludlow Computer Club (PLCC) was
formed, we were all just trying to understand how that
machine would simplify and improve our daily tasks. But
as we all know, digital technology affects vast areas of
our lives. Today we have wireless entertainment systems,
“Smart” phones, digital photography, global positioning
system (GPS), readers, audio players, music, videos, etc.
The list is endless.
As the needs of the community and our membership have
changed to reflect the widespread use of these exciting
products, it was decided that we needed to better identify
the organization and its direction.
Port Ludlow Computer Club (PLCC) is now Port Ludlow
DigitalLife (PLDL). DigitalLife is an expression of the
influence of technology in our lives. With the new name
we also adopted a new website address: pldigitallife.org.
Be sure to visit and take a look. Please welcome the
“new” organization to our community.
Freddy Pink Returns to Festival
It was a night to remember at Festival By The Bay 2011 with the
Freddy Pink Band.

The Port Ludlow Festival Association (PLFA) Board
is excited to announce the booking of The Freddy Pink
Band for the 2012 Festival By The Bay concert on
Saturday, July 28. This group had everyone on their
feet and dancing at last year’s performance. The rousing
musical sound of “Louie, Louie” accompanying fireworks
over the Bay was a real highlight of the Festival.
Gordon Yancey, lead vocalist of The Freddy Pink Band
stated, “I love being able to spend at least part of a summer
weekend in the West Sound with my family, and they will
be in Port Ludlow ‘en force’; it should be a fun show.”
Also booked and returning this year is the popular group
Ranger and the ‘Re-Arrangers.’ This Gypsy jazz band
evokes the spirit of a Paris café and the raucous energy
of a Gypsy campsite. World Rhythm Webzine says, “At
the heart of their sound is Ranger Sciacca’s sweet violin
playing... his sense of melody and daring improvisations.”
This group will perform twice at the Festival during the
day on Sunday, July 29.
A second concert will be held in the evening on Friday,
July 27, but the band has not been confirmed. “The entertainment
package for this year’s Festival is coming together
nicely,” says Gene Carmody, Festival Board President.
