Hello all, We just got the tree up and are getting into the spirit of the season (minus trips to the mall). We have one show with the Blue Dawg String Band this weekend, where we'll be playing some rousing oldtime music. We're thrilled to be invited to play at the Carl Sandburg Home for their Christmas at Connemara, dovetailing that with a carol-sing in Brevard the night before. The next weekend we'll head to the eastern part of the state to play for the lovely folks at Hadden Hall, and to brighten the lobby of the New Hanover County Library in Wilmington. We'll end the season with a return to Hagood Mill, along with an international contingent of other musicians, to celebrate the Winter Solstice. November brought some new opportunities. For Lucy, that included starting in her new role as a member of the Community Advisory Board for WNCW, one of the finest public radio stations in the region (well, really in the US). And we had some great shows in Greenville, Laurens and Brevard--thanks to everyone who came out and supported us! Hope to see you, and if we don't, have a great Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Soltice and New Year's Eve/Day!
