Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

Topic: Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

The band took the 'south route' to I-15 to Helena, across the Lehi
Pass, the same one Lewis and Clark took in 1804. The views were
stunning! And the road wasn't paved, which added to the drama.

We stopped in Dillon, MT for lunch at a Mexican Restaurant, and the
food, when we did get it, was good.

We got to Helena around 3:30 and were off to the venue by 5pm. The
Myrna Loy Theatre used to be the Helena jail, which is interesting.
Gary Cooper was also from Helena, and there were posters from both of
their movies in the lobby, as well as one of Myrna Loy's dresses.

The show was well attended, and everyone was tired, probably due to
the elevation we've been at for the past few days. It's hard to
adjust to higher elevations when you come from below sea level.

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!
