…was also quite good, delicious in fact. Great show at Passim Sunday – we got to have my teacher from Bamako, Moussa Traore, sit in with us. We had time on our way North to go up to the Byfield cemetery and see our great grandparents’ grave. We had a sweet show in Portsmouth, where the craic was again mighty – loved the Farthest Forest, and Mike and Allan’s awesome music. Tristan and the listening folk took tremendous care of us, and then today we came all the way down to New York in the rain. What a lovely night at the living room- Carrie Elkin and Anna Egge were both bright with beautiful, quality songs and great backup. People really seemed to love RM – and the sound was absolutely pristine. Afterward, the city was alive and awake… it felt so good to come into our own in New York.
