eTown, Boulder, CO

Topic: eTown, Boulder, CO

Yesterday was our performance at eTown, with Nick and Helen Forster.

I knew it was going to be a long hard day, but we all did well. We
loaded in at 3 and proceeded to sound check. The finale song was a
CCR tune whose name I cannot remember right now. "It was long
ago.....I know...." Oh yeah, something about the rain: "Who'll Stop
the Rain" That's how tired I am now at 7am!

I got to play a little 30 second interlude with Nick, which was fun.
He had Michael's Loar mandolin and I had a 1920's L-5. We did "Billy
in the Lowground."

After the show, everyone was invited to a reception at a restaurant
called Centro here in Boulder. The food was very good, as was the
beer. Being so tired and sleepy, I came back to the hotel at 10:30
and was asleep by 11:30.

We're departing the hotel at 1:30 for the drive to DIA/DEN. Our SW
flight's at 4:45. I would imagine we'll be eating at the Frontier
Restaurant in Albuquerque.

The tour continues!

Carpenter Center, Long Beach, CA, 9/26/9

Though it was a long day of travel, we had a good show at the Carpenter Center. Iris Dement opened the show and was well received. She played about 45 minutes and we played for about 75. Lots of fans were lined up afterwards for CD signings, and when it was all over and done with, we were just plain exhausted. Next up: Askenaz in Betkeley. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]

The Kate, Old Saybrook, CT, 2/11/18

We played the Kate on a very wet Sunday night. It was our third appearance there and as always, the audience was great and so were the staff.   We played a fairly well-rounded set list, mainly to listeners, as there isn’t much room at the Kate to dance.  It was a good show, and afterwards we sold and signed CDs.  It’s always great to see our fans. I hope it’s not 4 more years until we play there again!

Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show, Cranston, RI, 2/10/18

We’ve played the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show many times. It’s put on by Church Wentworth, who also produces the Ninigret Park Labor Day Festival. It was the 26th year of the Mardi Gras show, and the place was rocking! We played a rousing dance set, and we were followed by Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, old friends and great musicians.
