tour. Nice big stage, nice big lawn, nice big crowd. The standout
here was the sound crew. Tom, Raj, and Lexi catered to our every whim
and the sound system was first class. The echo off the valley was
huge and a little strange but we had a great time time. To our
complete surprise, a local family marched across the green carrying a
big Acadian Flag. Turned out to be Les Gagnons de Millbrook. Bien
fait!
After the show we stopped at Charlotte's Restaurant to visit Steve,
who booked the show and was playing his own gig during our concert.
What a character! Hope we get to catch his set someday. We ended up
getting roped into a few drinks at Charlotte's by Renée and Laura at
the bar. Who could say no? The decor at this place was otherworldly
- felt kinda Hotel California for a minute there. Then the sound crew
showed up and we just had to stay for a few more. Good times. See
y'all next time.
We stayed at a family campground outside of town. Steve and I saw a
barred owl that sounded like an eastern hawk owl. Steve's still
trying to figure that one out. It hung out with us just a few yards
away, screeching and jumping around. Wacky.
The next day was surreal. We showed up for our gig in Lenox, MA at
the Lenox Community Center and the place was EMPTY! Nobody to greet
us, no signs or posters, no chairs set up. The doors were unlocked
but noone was home. We were there at noon for a 1pm start and woah!
Some signals were crossed. Still don't know what happened because
Andy's contact didn't answer the phone. Yikes! One sweet older lady
showed up at 1 o'clock who saw our concert listed in a newsletter. We
gave her a free CD and chatted for a while and then departed. Oh
well, another adventure!
Now we are back at Lake George, looking forward to some R&R before
Castleton. First thing was to jump in the lake and then Andy boated
us over to the store to get some wifi time. Tomorrow, laundry, more
swimming and boating, and rehearsals. Then the home stretch!
