We received the nicest piece of mail the other day,
that I just had to post it up here. It's just nice to
know someone enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed
playing.
Thank you, Peter! You're welcome in the lounge at 124 whenever you're in the neighborhood!
Hi Jenine, I couldn't let last weekend pass without saying how much the playing of you, your other half and father-in-law meant to me. Sitting on the deck in the winter sunshine listening to your wonderful singing and all your friends creating my own "surround sound" experience is a memory I shall carry with me always. I hope we meet again. All my very best,Peter.

The gig at the Leigh Sawmill on May 15 went GREAT.
Nearly everyone we know turned out, it seemed. At
least, the place looked pretty full to me. We had a
great time playing. I felt like we were all really in
a groove together. Maybe someday they'll have us back
again.
Also had a great time at the Jane Gifford celebration in Warkworth. Well done to the organisers.
The photo page is broken. Sorry. I'll rebuild it soon. Richard Smallfield, a GREAT local photographer, took some shots of us at the Mill, and I'm hoping to get permission from him to put some of them up. They are beautiful, almost ethereal.
Had an AMAZING time at the Waharau Winter Shake-up over Queen's weekend. What great fun! We played so much music, and got to play with so many different musicians, people we've known a while, and new friends. Very special was getting Emily Giles of Forbidden Joe to sit in with us on "Summerfly" and backing up Lorina Harding on her song "35 Below." What a treat. The whole weekend was just like a big bottomless bowl of candy for us, and we're already looking forward to next year. Kudos to Rosie Holmes who, year after year, puts on this great "party" for 125 of her closest friends.
We're playing at the Matakana Farmer's Market this coming Saturday, and going to see Lorina at her CD release concert Saturday night, so it'll be a full weekend for us. We'd love to see you at one or t'other!
Further down the track: we are dangerously excited about the prospect of playing as "special guests" at the Wellington Folk Festival, which is being headlined by TIM O'BRIEN.
Nat and I head back to Colorado with the kids on June 26th, we'll be there for 2 months. I'm looking for a bass I can borrow, so if you know of one, please let me know. I am attending Rocky Grass Academy Bass Camp this July, in Lyons, Colorado. VERY excited about this.
