Like Woodstock before it, this years Elphin Roots festival nearly floated away -- right after Kyra and Tully's set. Tully's last lyrics before the deluge? -- "and it feels like it's gonna rain".
Sienna and Peja and I took off for K-town, but Kyra and Tully reported that everything was cool, and the festival continued in a nearby hall late into the night. Congrats and thanks to Jenny Whitely and all the bands who played. Thanks also to the vendor who sold me the old Ray Charles records.
We played a benefit concert today held to help a family on the island who lost their house to a fire. Despite the sullen cause, the community was out in cheerful force, and I got a good reminder what I miss about Wolfe Island. The show was great, lots of cool acts, and after a quick stop-in at a potluck, we made the 6:30 boat back home.
Busy weekend. Sleep now.
