Cav and Kav up and running!
Yes, finally we’re up and running - and running is what we’ve been doing a lot of lately. With gigs every weekend in March under our belts and new venues to play, we can barely catch our breath enough to continue to learn and write new material. We will have new material for the next few gigs, though. This month has brought a new website, thanks to our new webmaster, Dan Rain. It also brought an amazing gig for me (Deb) in Kingston this past weekend. I was part of a recreation of the Women’s Orchestra of Birchenbau concentration camp. I played 4 classical pieces on mandolin with this small orchestra made up of 2 mandolins, a cello, 3 violins, and accordion, piano, flute, and recorder. There was a wonderful Chorale doing vocal pieces and readers reading pieces from the women’s journals. We did two performances and were drained by the end. It was quite a gift to be a part of it. Dick had the opportunity to do a gig without me at Moon & River with the help of our friend, Kevin Smith. I heard it was wonderful and well attended. We also have two more gigs coming up at 2 new places: Slow Jed’s in Averill Park next Saturday, March 25th 8 - 10pm, and Samuel’s in Alplaus (outside of Schenectady) the following Friday, March 31st 7 - 9pm.
