Americana

Gearing up for tomorrow's concert.  Finger's crossed that the drizzle of today disappears as this is supposed to be an outdoor event.  C'est la vie--especially in Seattle's summers.

  1. I love the idea that your singers wrote some of their own lyrics.

    This spacing looks perfectly fine on my Google Reader, funnily enough.

  2. Yeah, it looked find on my phone, but looks wonky on the computer screen.

    And yes! The lyrics are very clever and incorporate things from their community and dining commons, etc.
