i just finished teaching at teh song school 4 day program in Lyons CO on the site of the ROcky Mountain Folk Festival, which i am performing at on Sunday at 1pm on the main stage. This past 4 days has been revealing and emotional and full of amazing people and love and trust and mountains ,..all in all this has been one of the most gratifying experiences i have had musicaly ina long time.
It was exausting in teh best ways, i found myself smiling all over al the time.
I jsut really wanted to check in and let you all know if you EVER thought about dipping your feet in the water of songwiting this 4 day program in Lyons happens every year adn it is AMAZING.
i want to particularly thank Steve who runs the program and bubba who has been out here with me tour managin adn just being an overall amazing human being. As well to Emily, Sarah, Katie, Kate, Kelly, and Teresa who helped me by allowing me to hear their song and to be willing to let me in to hear their songs in a new way. I really enjoyed writing every day and seeing familiar faces on the grounds as we all walked around going from class to class searching for coffee and fruit. I had a BLAST/
i uploaded a few videos from my week's experience. i hope you all enjoy them. As well to Joe,....my newfound friend and unbelievable talent, see you on the road in OCT.
......Joe is in a group called Coyote Grace who will be opening my Oct. Mid-west tour dates. I ehard Joe sing one of his songs in my class and was enchanted and blown away and wanted to befriend him immediately,..we did then me and Bubba went to see Sarah Sample playa gig at the local bar and Joe was there! ,.we hung out more,.and i asked him if he and his partner would like to do the dates in Oct.,..they said yes and so thanks to the song school for putting Coyote Grace in my life so i can share them with others too:)
