Just back from Boulder and a taping in eTown, the town where everything is 'green', the people are friendly and the world tries harder and gets better every day. ETown is presided over by the incomparable Nick Forster, our pal and superb host, spokesperson and amazingly accomplished player of anything with strings.
The guy never ceases to amaze me.
Boulder was 96 degrees -- pretty durned hot for 6,000 ft elevation. We stayed in the very comfortable Boulderado Hotel, honored guests of eTown and glad of it! That is one pretty town and playing the live show taping at the Boulder Theater was a joy as usual.
We shared the bill with legend Ian Tyson , who has turned his talents to Western music these last few years and it was great to hear him do his thing. His bass player Gordon Maxwell is quite a singer, writer and pianist and very good guy and his guitar player was Gordy Matthews, who amazed me back in the k.d. lang band, particularly on the 'Absolute Torch & Twang' tour - where the band played just plain scary. Gordy said 'Yeah, we rehearsed".
...Canadians, I tell you.
We played songs from SPOOKED for a very appreciative audience (thank you very much Colorado and Jen Lesea!) and came back for a finale - Keep On the Sunny Side - with Ian's trio, as well as Nick & Helen.
Sunny side indeed.
Big fun in Colorado.
The show will air in 4 or 5 weeks - stay tuned.
We are back home for a couple weeks -- whew.
I'm loving my life and doing my laundry.
later, dudes and dudettes...
