House Session, Edgartown

Tuesday night's seis was small, but fun - a celebration of having completed the renovations on my dining/music room, a celebration of a new session season at the Alison Boylston Piazza House/Midnight Mermaid Gallery, as well as a coming home party (after living and studying in Boston for the past ten years, I have decided to return to my childhood home to enjoy my family, my garden, and having all my stuff in one place).

The evening was a good test-run of the room. I knew it would be a lively room, with its 9' ceilings, and I have loved playing my fiddle or singing in that room by myself - heavenly - but the real test would be a group of musicians. The room was okay for music, as it turned out (and just okay), but terrible for conversation. So I am now fine-tuning the room, having added a rug, and will add some heavy curtains (for which my neighbors will probably also thank me).

All in all, it was a fun couple of days. Next up: Fourth of July porch session. Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for this, and more (and the door is always open in the meantime).

It's going to be a great summer.
