January 10th, 2023. Carole Wise at the Open Spark.
Margaret’s first time at the Spark, a new comer to Takoma Park – though it rapidly came to late that she was a Takoma Park returnee. You could tell.
Kristen had just come from a recording session with Bryan Lee here. Or mayhaps Bryan had just come from recording with Kristen?
We do this every Tuesday at the School of Musical Traditions at 7112 Willow Ave, Takoma Park, MD. Signup at 6, music at 7, moderately family-friendly, 2 songs / 10 minutes / 1 pun whichever’s shortest unless we’re feeling generous.
Tonight we had special guest star Carole Wise down from Brunswick, Maine. We’d met her at NERFA this past year and really bonded with her sense of wonder, exploration and her radiations of JOY. When you know Life is short and respond to that by gripping it with both hands and playing as hard as you can? That’s pretty damned ilyAIMY.
