Last night we played five songs on the Folk Show, guest-hosted by Chuck Elliot.
It was the first radio show appearance for all of us, and we were a bit nervous, but well-rehearsed, especially due to all the busking we've been doing of late.

My day began in turmoil when I tried to update our website and the whole thing crashed. I spent two hours pulling out my hair and talking to technicians on the phone. Then Lynda & I played for an hour or so on South Street. I went home to get ready for the show, and right before leaving for the station, I stepped in some sort of mixture of dog-poop and gum. I hosed off my sneakers, but still smelled like a zoo when I entered the studio. Whenever I'm on the verge of something big and new, the fates seem to throw up roadblocks.

Anyway, our producer / engineer / friend Daoud Shaw graciously agreed to accompany us and play percussion, which livened up our performance A LOT. He also made sure the techies at the station gave us a good setup.

We waited in a big studio until it was our part of the show, then Chuck Elliot came in, chatted with us on-air a bit, and we played 5 songs: One of Us and Obla Di (cover songs), and the originals Canyon Song, The Wisdom of my Youth, and God Gives You What You Need.

We got a few complimentary emails, and an inquiry about a gig, but we also gained experience and confidence that we can hold our own in this wacky business. We're having fun.
