wow, been having so much fun traveling i haven't gotten around to posting anything for awhile...so here's the first part of a catch up to this fall's wanderings.
started the fall travels back in RI where i attended my first ever high school reunion. had a good time catching up with folks i hadn't set eyes on for a long long (looong) time...let's just say, the last time these folks saw me i was this guy...(the woman is barbara rivkin, the person who taught me how to fingerpick...thanks, barbara!)
it was funny, most folks reaction to my still being a musician was "wow, you're still DOING that...following your dream, etc". but there were a couple of "wow, you're still doing THAT?"...it's all in the inflection, i guess. hell, i feel both ways some days.
took a ride down to the RI shore while i was there. still a beautiful place.
after RI, i finally got to spend some time in chicago...man, what a cool town!
once again, courtesy of my baseball fanatic agent, i had great tickets to a white sox game. boy, something about seeing a game up close...
also spent a day at the chicago institute of art where i got to visit with these guys...
also got to spend time with some old familiar faces...
a print of this hung on my wall for a long time. simply amazing to stand in front of the original...
also saw an exhibit of incredible stained glass work by marc chagall
and these guys live on the roof of the harold washington library downtown
but after all is said and done, there's nothin' like coming home to a front yard filled with flowers...
and a back yard full moon...
next up, back to the pacific northwest.
listening to: tom waits - glitter and doom live
