Hey Julie ~ Welcome and maybe we'll bump into each other at some point. Whereabouts are you? I'm in Waterbury. I recently was on the PointFM radio station's website where they had some free GBS downloads including the Gallows Pole tune if you don't already have it. I bugged them for more airtime for the band and the station's music director emailed me back telling me just how many hundreds of times they've played tracks from Fortune's Favor in the past year. Seems like they always fill the house when the visit Vt. and NH. We saw them at the Lebanon Opera House last Nov. - it was a really special show in a cool old venue where every seat feels close to the stage. We skipped the Burlington show on Halloween because our kids threatened a mutiny if we skipped trick-or-treating, GBS concert or not. If you're surfing the website, check out Alan's FTR post Nov. 1, I believe, where he writes about his day in Burlington last Halloween.... the mayor declared it GBS Day; Alan was homesick for his little son; went for a run and got lost, ending up on Henry Street (his son is Henry); and then an embarrassing incident on the marketplace. I'll let you find the rest.
We're heading to Toronto for the Aug. 22 show. We may take the train from Montreal, too.
Cheers,
LisaVt
And when your children have all grown, you'll wait by the window and wish them all back home.
