Just uploaded a new page of photographs. River Ice . This is what I do at lunch.

Right now I am listening to the CD American Gypsy by the amazing Tony Furtado. The first track, Oh Berta, Berta gets a lot of play at WYCE . Based on that one track, I ordered the CD. I was not mistaken. Furtado’s stuff is kind of bluegrass, kind of blues, and all kinds of beautiful.

This past Saturday I caught the Conklin Ceili Band (website in production) at Pete Brown’s Office . I have known of them for some time, and have met the lead singer Mick, but this is the first time I have actually heard them. They put on a hell of a show. They have a new fiddle player, Natalie – lately of Fonnmhor – who plays as well as ever. A splendid time was had by all.
