February 9, 2007 - Played at Club Passim on Wednesday opened for the Santa Cruz River Band, and had a great time! Really loved listening to the Band, and just felt lucky being surrounded by all the music -- very, very cool. Also got to see lots of friend: Liz Spinney brought a friend of hers, Jen, Lael and her husband Charlie stopped by. College friend Victoria and her Husband Wayne made it. Valerie (friend who also worked for me in Alaska) left hubby at home and brought her friend Eve and Leo Carroll came in from Concord. Leo loved the SCR Band and, when I left, he was offering to help carry their gear! What a great group and engaged crowd it was. Tonight Leo and I poppoed over to the Colonial Inn in Concord to catch John Fitzsimmons. It ended up another cool night of music as John asked me (thanks to a discreet request from songwriter Jim Shaw) to play a few songs and the folks there seemed to appreciate the music. Its the kind of thing you just love (I was the last customer out of the bar as Jim Shaw slipped out right in front of me. Getting ready to play the Burren on Sunday (8) then home Monday for a day or two! "Eddie's Song" was at #53 this week.
