On to the Mid-West

Well, it seems a blur how it all fit in, especially the last three days where I went from Williamsport, PA to New Haven, CT, to Boston and then flew to Kalamazoo, but I did it, and I connected with some wonderful friends,new and old and growing, along the way.  I’ve really refined the group of songs I’m singing and the stories I’m telling, focusing on peace and connection with each other.  It has been really fun as I’ve pulled songs from all my different CD’s.

I’m really excited about my house concert in Milwaukee this Friday.  I haven’t been to Milwaukee in years, but the concert will also be streaming live online.  That means you can listen!  Just go to http://livingroomsessions.com.

Princeton Songs

Hi friends.  I’m taking a moment in a quiet space with some wifi to get a few administrative chores done.  Of course there are bigger things on my list I think I probably won’t get to at all until I get home.  Somehow I alwasy think, though, “Oh, I’ll just do it a coffee shop on hte road.”  Anyway…

Last night I had a concert at Princeton.  The five people that showed up at the official start time were nervous that anyone else would come.  This has always been hte case, as long as I’ve been playing on University campuses…there are always multiple options for the evening.  But my friend Paul Raushenbush  made the investment and posters.  I had a great spot in the daily Princetonian, and a coupe of my firends, who happen to be seminary students at Princeton now, all helped spread the word.  By the end of the concert there was a good little group gathered in a circle.  I played for an hour and a half, interspersed with thoughts and stories and questions.  It was a great evening.

Today is a beautiful fall day too.  I’ve got to take the train back up to Manhattan now.  I left some stuff with friends up there, so I’ll go get it, and then I have a rehearsal before all the NY Faith and Justice events.  Public transportation tour is going fine.  Its a little tricky and you have to be ready to wait for a half hour everytime you miss a train, but its all good.  More to come…

Denver Gathering

Hey All,

Even though I’m out East, my some of my favorite friends are gathering in Denver.  If you are close by, I hope you’ll consider going.

First Concert Success

Well, I made it to Arlington just fine.  In fact, I managed to put ear plugs in and kind of sleep hunched over the seat back tray in front of me on the plane ride out.  The concert was great.  Joe Milkey Mappa opened…and Memorial did a great job of bringing different groups together.  I’m staying in a cool part of Arlington, close to a friend that’s in law school at George Mason, and am heading up to see Brian and Grace McLaren tonight before I come back to the city for the Concert Monday.  Right now my bags are stuffed to the brim with Lara bars (my preferred quick snack) and CD’s, but hopefully the load will lighten a bit after another concert before I head to New York.

The Adventure Begins

It’s 3 am and I’m waiting for the bus to get to the airport and fly to DC. Check out the calendar for all the show and tour details. I’ll try to be a good tour blogger too. Remember, these first two weeks are public transportation all the way!
