When I couldn't fall asleep when I went to bed last night, I went back downstairs, put the CD If You Lived Here You'd Be Home Now next to my computer as a reminder not to forget that, went back to bed, and fell asleep almost right away. How come I couldn't sleep? Excitement at the prospect of seeing N&K for the fourth year in a row, today, at the Boston Children's Museum, doing one of their children's shows! :-) Sometimes I've had to think long and hard, how to work Kennedys content into these presentations. "Orphan Girl-o-Rama" was my "Key to the Kingdom" this time! :-) With much less to go on, imagine how I've struggled to think of ways to get Chris & Meredith Thompson in parlance in these Nook and Jangle-Poets postings. And then imagine how much easier it got for me, and how happy that made me, when P&M had the incredible good graces to conjure up the Strangelings! :-) Bruce Check out the Kennedys' Official Home Page: http://www.KennedysMusic.com/ Fab photos, the Official tour diary, dashboard Buddha haiku, groovy merchandise...what more could you ask for? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2007 13:09:52 -0400 From: Jay Votel Subject: Re: [JP] Ain't That Good News - Part 2 - This Train & Orphan Girl Yet another Strangelings/Nields cross-connection: Ont he main stage at Great Waters Folk Festival in Wolfeboro, NH, in early August, we got to see Cheryl Prashker sitting in with Jonathan Edwards and Northern Lights, the Mass.-based bluegrass group with lead singer Ben Demerath, who, incidentally, sat in with N&K et. al. on the main stage at Falcon Ridge the previous weekend. The great big world of folk music is, truly, a small world indeed. MC Kate McNally of the NHPR Folk Show stumbled over Cheryl's introduction at GWFF, saying she was in a group with TK called the Strange Something-or-others. We did our best to set her straight from our seats, but no matter: Cheryl's percussion spoke for itself.
