Back at the Vienna Wolf Trap Hotel

Topic: Back at the Vienna Wolf Trap Hotel

It's good to be back in Vienna. Two dates left on the tour, and we're
all ready to get home on Saturday.

The drive down the New Jersey Turnpike was uneventful, but we did hit
some traffic near DC on our way to the Peking Duck Restaurant in
Alexandria, VA. The food was superb! I also think everyone was happy
to have eaten there yesterday rather than for lunch today; I don't
think anyone would have had the energy to play music tonight! What an
experience.

The weather is moderating, though it's 22 degrees now. I think the
high today will be in the 50s. Enough of the cold.

I'm starting to work up the West Coast tour at the end of the month.
Lots of logistics involved.

2023 and BeauSoleil

We all made it through COVID, thank God.  We are all looking forward to a new year with great adventures.  We do have two upcoming shows in December: in New Orleans on 12/8, at the Lafitte Greenway and at the Hideaway Dance Hall on 12/11.

MIM- The Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix, AZ, 1/28/18

The MIM is a very special place: it’s like, in the words of Aaron Neville, the Louvre for musicians. It’s unbelievable how many instruments are collected there.   To perform at MIM is also a special deal.  The sound is really, really good, and the audiences are great.  All in all, bands are treated quite well there, and the after the show Meet and Greet with the audience is always rewarding. For someone who isn’t from the Phoenix area, it seems strange that the museum is so far out of town, but I’m told that it won’t be in the future.  The building is huge and well maintained, just like the instruments inside. We met people from Breaux Bridge and people who have been to Louisiana many times.  We also met people who have tried for years to hear the banned and were able.  I don’t think anyone was disappointed.

Earlville Opera House, Earlville, NY 8/21/15

The Earlville Opera House was another first for the band. This venue is a historic opera house from days gone by.  There were band photos from past groups, and it was nice to see Mitch's old group Charvari had played there in 1995 or so.  The audience was great and danced around the room.  We hope to return again soon!
