Ken and I were reminiscing earlier this evening about the last twelve months: 17 shows, 150 new Facebook page likes (over 850!) over 300 guests, all in our cozy cabin. Which show was your favorite? Were you here when Rushad Eggleston played the cello while perched on the fence, or when Mieka Pauley sang while her twin babies listened? Perhaps you enjoyed Christine Spero's Laura Nyro tribute show. Who was your favorite musical discovery? We certainly had plenty to choose from!
We also remarked, as we often do, that we never imagined we'd be presenting concerts in our living room. Robinson Treacher, who was here with Brad Cole in August, said it wasn't too small at all, "Think of the three bears' chairs!" he exclaimed. "It's just right."
You, our gourmet audience, contributed to the livelihoods of 36 artists through your donations and merchandise purchases. We love introducing you to talented artists whose favorite part of their job is performing for intimate audiences throughout the US and abroad. They've told me many times, without us (an audience to perform for), there's no them. As always, thank you for your support of live music and the artists who make the sounds; they truly appreciate our gourmet audience! We look forward to sharing another eclectic year of music discovery with you. 2017 is certain to be interesting and challenging, and, as you know, music therapy is a wonderful panacea. Wishing you a 2017 that brings far more joy than sorrow, success however you define it, much good health, and peace of mind.
Musically yours,
Linda.
