Outside of Nashville, TN, we attended a birthday get-together with old time musicians from all over and prepared a huge gumbo with sausage we brought with us from Louisiana. We spent a week in New York, walking, visiting, going to some museums, capped off with a performance at one of our favorite festivals, the Brooklyn Folk Festival, and tunes with Nora Brown, Samoa Wilson, Stephanie Coleman, Libby Weitenaur.? Finished off in Boston with workshops at Berklee College of Music and? New England Conservatory, and? a house concert where Jim Kweskin sat in!!??
