Dear Companions,
Our cold and foggy summer here in the Bay Area has finally given way to the hot sunny days of October, formerly known as Indian Summer. Not sure what it's called these days, but I love having some sun, finally! This last weekend was Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, the free music festival started by the late Warren Hellman 20-something years ago. I have been lucky enough to have played every festival since the second one, and it is really an amazing weekend, reminiscent of the late 1960's gatherings of peace and love in Golden Gate Park (I was 16 during the Summer of Love). The music was fabulous, with something for everyone. Personally, Gaby Moreno knocked me out! The crew—hospitality, security, transportation, sound—were all a joy to work with.
Coming off the high from last weekend, I realize that we have very little time before the Right Hands and I load up the van and head north for Oregon and Washington. Please check out the dates below, and come out and see us if we are landing close to you. Or tell your far-flung friends!
Our Bandcamp site is finally up and running, thanks to the expertise of Irene Young. See below for more information. And remember, this is Bandcamp Friday. You have until midnight tonight to download music and avoid us having to pay the service charge.
Get out there if you can!
Yours,
Laurie
