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!

The Art Center, Carrboro, NC

Date: August 9, 2009 11:28 AM Topic: The Art Center, Carrboro, NC It was another trip to the Art Center in Carrboro. It's always been a good venue for the group, and this time was no different. Lots of tickets were sold and I think the show was close to a sell out. Instead of playing two sets, which would have increased our merchandise sales, we opted for one long set, one very long set, 2 hours worth. Sometimes I think making decisions like playing a long set isn't always a good idea. It's hard to perform that long, but I do know that it's sets like that which go into the record books. I don't think anyone had a bad time. I do think we wore out the audience, however.

Hard day

The Ark gig went well. Good crowd & merch sales. We passed by Elderly Instruments in Lansing on the way to Grand Rapids. Then we hit the road, arriving at the hotel at 3:30. We left for a radio interview/performance at 4:15 at WYCE. After doing 2 songs, we went to the venue, the Ladies Literary Club. Nice place, nice renovation. The last time we played there was April 19, 1997. Packing for the flight to MSP.

The Turning Point, Piermont, NY, 2/9/18

We played the Turning Point on Friday, 2/9.  If you’re not familiar with the place, it’s downstairs from a restaurant, housed in a rather small bar.  John McAvoy, the owner, is quite a character, and he always treats us great.  The place holds 78 max, and I believe there were 85 there! Some day I’d like to see what Piermont looks like in the daylight! We’ve never been able do that.   The audience was very receptive, no dancing allowed (no room), and we played a pretty good ‘sit down set.’ We look forward to our next appearance there!
