Back from west coast. Spoon just gets better and better. And Po'girl was such a treat to be sharing the bill with. In Victoria trish (also of the Be Good Tanya's) came up and sang harmony along with Awna Teixeira of Barleywik on the Sault song (this old timey tune I wrote on the fiddle), and it sounded sweet. I got to try out some new tunes, very cathartic. Po'girl ended the whole night by inviting a huge pile of people on stage to sing Penny Lang's "Ain't Life Sweet." One of those gorgeous feel-the-love moments that I've only ever encountered in the folk realm. Then I went and played fiddle at pride in Vancouver with Spoon after spending the night on Caroline Marks dining room floor. What a fine dame. What a trippy thing to play a show on one hour of sleep. We burned the barn. I also busked in Victoria with Barley Wik. And Awna and I ended up playing a show in Langley BC organized by the lovely Happy Kreter. Felt good. West coast is GOOD!
