Normally my gigging partner and I (as the Eclectic Junction) hit a coffee shop or two a month, playing some acoustic folk and blues and we have a fun time for 2-3 hours. He was away this week-end, so I tried some different things: During this current 24 hours I played last night at a women's haven/shelter in a neighboring town (great time ... one woman can sing like Maria Muldar in her prime -- what a treat to have her sing along with me!); at noon today played an hour-plus set with a small community group at the Children's Museum in Saginaw, MI (gave the kids kazoos and our folks got'em moving); later this afternoon I played a wedding, accompanying two hammered dulcimer players, in a rural country church (a really neat sound!); and finally. tonight the wife and I are going to Bay City to have dinner a listen to a friend in his acoustic band at a local eatery!

I think this is what this non-commercial music is all about and just wanted to share the experience.
