  • William and Mary 2011 Alumni Medallion Award Winners

    Truly generous people don’t require thanks or recognition (not that it’s not completely appreciated!). They give because it’s one of the things that defines them and their beliefs. Generosity/giving comes in many forms. On occasion, it becomes obvious to many people how special a particular person is and we get together in groups […]

  • The Grascals at Highline Ballroom

    When a band plans a tour there is very little wiggle room in any given city. They’re generally on the move all night (if they have a professional bus driver), or all day (if they’re driving themselves). There are many things you can’t control when planning months in advance. Two such things are […]

  • Ricky Skaggs, Punch Brothers, Nancy Griffith and Abigail Washburn at BB King

    We’ve seen Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder a couple of times, most recently in June 2008. When we saw that they were performing at BB King, we knew we’d be there. The only other act listed on the bill was Abigail Washburn, opening for Ricky. We’ve seen Abigail a number of times, so […]

  • The Nutcracker at Richmond CenterStage

    I was supposed to be at work all day yesterday. If you promise not to tell anyone that could get me in trouble, I’ll tell you what I did after leaving the office at 10:15am (I was in at 7am, so I got some things done). Our friends in Richmond bought six tickets […]

  • Jess and Jesse Terry Wedding

    Yesterday’s post ended with: “Congratulations to Jesse and Jess as your new life together begins in a few hours!” This is the sequel to that post, sharing some memories from an absolutely gorgeous wedding ceremony that we were honored to be invited to. Just like the night before, things weren’t exactly hitch-less as […]

  • Joey Ryan, Kenneth Pattengale, The Springs Standards and Meg and Dia at The Studio at Webster Hall

    Joey Ryan comes to NYC a few times a year. If we’re here too, you can bet we’ll make it to one of his shows. Even though we love seeing him solo, this time he was touring with Kenneth Pattengale as well. The two of them make magic together, so we run rather […]

  • Girlyman and Red Molly at City Winery

    This show was announced over six months ago and the minute it was, I grabbed tickets. It was a long wait and it was well worth it. We even got to see Girlyman three weeks ago in Birmingham, which only enhanced our anticipation of last night’s show. It is the rarest Girlyman show […]

  • Girlyman at Workplay

    Earlier in the week I said we’d finish off our Birmingham trip with a surprise. Seeing Girlyman perform at Workplay on Sunday night topped off an already incredible week of family, friends and fun (henceforth known as the 3 F’s). Anyone who has read more than a few of my posts knows how […]

  • Antje Duvekot and Anne Heaton at House Concert

    Last night we attended our second ever house concert. I can easily see this becoming a habit. I started this blog 3.5 years ago with one goal in mind, document our lives so that as our memory fades (inevitable) we will have a permanent record to reflect back on. A completely unexpected side-benefit […]

  • Jesse Terry and Marjory Lee at a House Concert

    We became aware of how many house concerts there are only a few years ago. There have been a few that we really wanted to attend, but scheduling or illness confounded every one, until last night. Our friends (stay tuned for how we met them at the end) hosted a house concert featuring […]
