Rockland — On Friday, Sept. 21 at 7:30 p.m., the Sail, Power and Steam Museum presents a concert by Dave Goulder, folk musician and master craftsman.

For this appearance, Goulder will offer Railway music and stories, songs for the Spanish guitar traditional and nontraditional and words and music of dry stone walling; perhaps a short course in wall building or a slideshow. Variety and surprises throughout the evening.
