After (mostly) deciding what we will play we write the sets on paper scraps:
Every time we came up with an order we thought could work, we'd photograph it so we'd remember what liked.

Bonnets, banjos and berries
We finished out our Carolina tour with fabulous dances in Asheville at the Grey Eagle and Winston-Salem.
Our pal Ivar Schloz was an amazing host. He fed and watered us, gave up his beds for the better part of a week, recorded us and let us play his instruments. We have been officially spoiled rotten!
Our last night we stayed with Greensboro dancer Rod Edens.

Cats, sweaters, more mountains & rockin the house!
Cat statues in Asheville!
Window shopping on our way to breakfast we spotted this sweater in a Scotland store. The golf course is distinctly guitar shaped.
 |
| Why? Bill. Because we love him! |

We had a rockin' house concert/contra/party at
Stephen Stiebels House in Mebane. Eileen Thorsos called and we were
joined by friends Bruce and Cary. It was a great day!

Hell Hot and Heaven Sweet
Today was much more relaxed. Being able to stay in one place three nights in a row is a real treat!
We spent some time in the morning tweaking tunesets on our friend Ivar's sunny back deck while he was out playing Frisbee Golf. We soaked up up the spring sun, drank Ivar's coffee, wrote a tune we called "Pon Hoss Rag" and wondered how on earth "Frisbee Golf" is played.
Then we went for breakfast at The Local Joint in Fairview. Everything was soooo goood, but the best were the blue cheese potato chips. Yum!
We played with jelly beans
On the way to the gig we saw:
Another night at the delightfully funky River Falls Lodge! We had a blast with caller Beth Molaro!
Musician's Eye View of the hall. (Note fake rat center stage. This what we looked at while we played.)
A nice chill-out before bed!
