Fabulous day yesterday – Rowan and I drove up to Gettysburg and joined up with Heather to play Gettysburg Rocks! – an all weekend festival of music put together by “Bald Rob Productions” (obviously not me, I don’t capitalize my “r”, right?) that raises money to fight children’s cancer. It was good to play music, it was good to play for a good cause, it was good to make new friends and fans and to play a new (beautiful) venue.
Oh, also – crawfish beignets with creole-honey butter. So very, very Lovely. Had a little bit of issue with the sound, but mostly the feedback came from the owner insisted he wanted us turned up, so I’ll revel in the fact that it was a sign of Love.
We even played an anti-Trump song to an audience that really seemed to be paying attention to the LYRICS and didn’t get lynched! Huzzah!
Tonight’s show has a lot of promise too – looking forward to playing a sold out night in Takoma Park, but in between the two events we have the sad task of attending a memorial service for our friend Scott Morgan. Fabulous musician, builder and rebuilder of acoustic instruments, and just a joyful guy with an understated murmer of a voice. He is sorely missed. I hope to wrap my brain around this a little tighter shortly, but at the moment… I’m just sorry to lose yet another member of our musical community and part of our House of Musical Traditions family.
