The Dream Journal – May 2020

Hello!

We hope you are well, and are finding positive ways to keep yourself occupied in these odd times. We’ve taken advantage of all this time at home to put some serious work into preparing our garden and orchard. Yes, orchard. It’s now a proper orchard with 20 fruit trees, a mixture of peaches, pears and apples. We can personally attest to why New Hampshire is known as the Granite State, as we dug up a boulder just slightly smaller than our coffee table while digging the hole to plant the last pear tree! We’ve also been enjoying the opportunity to bake, something we can’t do on the road as our van doesn’t have an oven. Many loaves of sourdough bread, several batches of brownies and a batch or two of cornbread have made being home all the time a lot more pleasant.

Getting to share our music online is also a positive thing. This Saturday, May 23rd, we’re taking part in the Music Salon Live Livestream Concert, three hours of music from 6 different acts. The Music Salon is a house concert series hosted by Linda Marks. Tune in to the Music Salon’s Facebook Group starting at 7pm to enjoy sets by Craig Sonnenfeld, Mark Bishop Evans, Rafael Natan, us, Kenny Selcer, and Linda Marks herself. We’re on at 8:30pm, but we do recommend you listen for the whole show, as these are some outstanding musicians. Each act will go live on the page for 30 minutes at a time.

Look for new online shows coming up in our June newsletter!

If you missed our virtual coffeehouse show last month, you can still find it online here at our Facebook page. It’s our understanding that you don’t need a Facebook account to reach this link.
