Howdy



Hello everyone. It's been awhile I know. Since the last update I have been to Nevada City for the one year deal and traveled to Moab Ut. to rehearse with Ben and Gigi for the Kate Wolf Festival next week. Going back to Nevada City was far more difficult than I thought it would be. Folks say it takes a year after a death to start moving on. That sounds nice but it's really a load of crap. The first place I went upon my arrival was the cemetary to see dad. I just stood there shaking.

A whole year can you belive it, I can't. Joanna is doing well and it was nice to see Brendan and Morrigan. We are scatterd about so,so we don't get a chance to see each other that often. We sat around with a few close friends , told stories and stuffed our faces with barbecued chicken.

I am now focused on Next weekend and the Kate Wolf festival. Bobette and I will drive down on Thursday to see Joanna before heading to Laytonville. Rehearsal went well. It was the first time we had all played together in fact it was the first time Ben had met Gigi. A good friend of ours bought a place in Moab that is void of furniture so it was a great place to jam. All weekend we jammed, hiked around and jammed. It's a bummer that none of us live in the same city let alone the same state.
But things are coming along.
Her is the line up of songs that we are going to do

Daddy What's a Train
Eddie's Song
Going Away
Aces,Straight and Flushes
Carolina Pines - Kate's song
Green Rolling Hills of West Virgina
I Think of You
Long Gone - A song that I wrote for dad
Trumpet Vine _ Kate's song
If I Could Be The Rain - Maybe
and assorted stories and memories

If any of you come please do stop by and say hi.
If there is internet at the site I will post next weekend
Thanks.
Duncan

Duncan; My mother passed away in 1993 and I am still not over that. So the year deal I would say is a load of crap. There are just some people that leave such an impact that you do not ever forget them or the hurt after they are gone.I was thinking of your dad yesterday and it too brought a tear to think about his passing. Sure do wish I could hear another one of his stories. It is still good to listen to the music. Take err easy!! Keith Bednar

Wow....it's really been a year?!? That is amazing. We are so grateful for all of the music and stories your dad produced and performed in his lifetime. I hope you can continue to enjoy it. Have fun with the festival next week!

Duncan - I enjoyed your Utah tribute at the KW festival last week. I also saw Utah's show at the 2007 festival - he seemed so vibrant singing and telling stories that I was surprised he became ill soon after. You mentioned having a CD of the 2007 show - if one is available for sale I would like to buy it.
