I thoroughly enjoyed this entry. Touring is a bitch.

Oh god the amount of times we’ve had to deal with “worried’ promoters.

Seriously what are you supposed to do, buy all the tickets yourself?

Yes …. I can relate… when you bridge classical players with pop music venues … actually any situation where you bridge the concert and pop music worlds… interesting things happen. Especially with scheduling I’ve noticed. Can be frustrating from the performer’s end of things.

the backstage cocktail sounds so dope – i’m esp intrigued by the cracked pepper w/ the gin, i dont think i’ve ever done that.

1) Since the entire post seems to be alcohol related I give you my recipe for Apploosa’s, which can replace Mimosas on Sunday.

1 part organic apple chuice.
2 parts you favorite champers or sparkly.

Yum. And no hangover acid complex to deal with.

2) Most importantly, I sell all your music in a shop in the East Village called Etherea on Avenue A. Y’all should come in and visit. Or do a signing. Or play. Or just sit and gab.

3) Love you all.

1) happy birthday! like mushrooms for lambs….2) kicking myself for missing the NY show – i dumbly thought it was on sunday and on sunday realized it wasn’t. i plead convention-induced amnesia. 3) that promoter should get out of the biz! 4) i’ll modern dance w/bunny if you and sam won’t.

Hey, Brad,

The exploded folk tune (“The Only Tune”) is on Nico’s album, MOTHERTONGUE.

Thanks for a great show in NY. I hope you’ll record that exploded folk tune some time…

I saw the show in Chicago and it was great (I do not regret missing the DNC speeches!) Thanks to you all for a lovely evening.

I loved the peek at your score for The Only Tune. I have the scores from England; are any available here?

You should all drunk dial that DC-area establishment as much as possible – as far as I can tell, tickets never were available online (having tried unsuccessfully to procure them on a couple of different occasions), and since traveling to that establishment is a Pain in The Ass, it’s not as if people are going to go there to buy tickets before the night of.

The Silver Spring version was very excellent, thank you. You can never have too many Contra dancers on your side.
