Boston and Chatham, October 5-7, 2019

Realizing that my free weekends will soon, for the most part, be coming to an end, I treated myself to a weekend off-island, starting with a quick stop at Best in Plymouth for Caravan servicing, then on to my usual haunts - Bunratty in Reading, Mass at St. Paul's, Harvard Square; Hennessey's, downtown; then back down to Chatham to play with the Squire gang - fulfilling both my need to see friends and play music, as well as allowing me to test the new EOS R - both its low light capabilities, as well as the silent shutter option; also testing the new Note 10 + (performances of both, I can now report, were excellent). I was also glad to have a visit with Brookline friends on Saturday night. All in all it was a great couple of days, feeding me musically, socially, artistically, and spiritually - my favorite combination.

The Bunratty session, with Terry and Emily and many friends, was a great time.
