Zappadan

As we come to the close of Zappadan,, music has been the best this December. Yesterday it was two new banjo players sitting in with old favorites Petty Cash and Jackstraw. I don't know the first one's name. He was playing with Dan and Janet at the Festival of the Last Minute. The second was Sam Hill with Jackstraw.



The month has been not only a bounty of listening and dancing to music but of hanging out with musicians as well. Breakfast with Baby Gramps' band was an other- worldly experience. And I loved my house concert, even though I was kind of distracted being a hostess. But for pure enjoyment, I'm not sure anything can beat learning to play 3 ball from Dave Reisch and Jimmy Boyer and being beat by Tricia who vacations at Upper Lake Nemahbin with her guitar god husband Jon.

Happy Hanukkah too! I begin my celebration of the festival of lights with Woody Guthrie.
