the show was marvelous, and very much worth the drive. i had such a great time with emily too. (how did i not get your picture?) thank you so much for everything!
the venue was this tiny little all ages place and it might as well have been somebody's garage. it was cold. but the sound was wonderful, the feeling was super-intimate and the crowd was awesome. everyone was sooooo quiet and respectful. with this band, that's so important, the way their music ebbs and flows, builds and releases. anyway, they were amazing. i gave justin his guitar pick and he was really sweet.
this guy made me think of the chimney sweep in mary poppins. he played every instrument you can think of. in this photo he is playing the fiddle and the drum at the same time...
also, the opening band, y la bamba, were really great as well. very intense, with a fantastic female singer. a seven piece band, everyone switching instruments all the time. beautiful! both bands are heading west together from here; you should go see them if you can...
Oh, yeah, why didn't we get a picture of the two of us? Oh well, next time you come! Next time, bring the whole fam and you can all fly through the sky! That really was such an excellent show. I keep thinking about it.....glad I got their CD's to keep me company. As soon as I get that song I recorded on my camera downloaded I'll e-mail you a link. I'm sure you're up to your neck in making guitar picks right now. Good luck!
