Great Music!

Fairport Convention rocked!!! They played one long set, with no break, because they wanted to get out of there by 10 (long drive ahead of them). Fabulous!!!
Their warm-up band, Equation, was also excellent– so good, I bought their CD The Lucky Few and got it signed by lead singer Kathryn Roberts. Wow. Amazing.
Of course, it got me all nostalgic/wistful for my own musicianship. I never wanted to be a professional musician– just a life-long amateur. Lately, I haven’t played much at all, and it’s hard to be/stay motivated when you’re basically a band of one. Fortunately, LittleBird just got a dulcimer, so I might see if she wants to play with me– we can duet and motivate each other, perhaps.
Well, I’m tired and it’s time to feed the pup and kitty and head off for bed!
