Car Talk

So this is what happened to my wife and I this past weekend, six hours from home…

My usually quite reliable buddy, a 2006 Ford Taurus named Lou, decided not to start back up again at the Maryland House rest stop near Aberdeen, Maryland. On our way, spontaneously, to the final Lowen and Navarro concert at the Birchmere in Virginia, we suddenly found ourselves stranded for four days.

Thank goodness for the kindness of our friends Aaron and Debra Nathans, and for my extended warranty… I’m back in VT now, with a rental car (enjoying some satellite radio), and trying to psych myself up for ANOTHER trip to Maryland this weekend to pick up my car!

But first! I’ll be playing a new venue for me, in my old stomping grounds! If you live around Saranac Lake or Lake Placid, NY, please stop by the Mirror Lake Inn!

I’m thrilled to say that, along with my great friend Gary Moon on percussion and vocals, I won the Susquehanna Music and Arts Songwriter Contest in Havre-de-Grace, Maryland!

I’ll update the site, shortly, with photos and video, but in the meantime, come celebrate with us at the Iron Lantern in Castleton on Friday!
