I'm sure your being free to have more time for the music will nourish you creatively and spiritually and if you can teach to make the money, then it seems to be a fairly good arrangement.<br /><br />Interesting that you should mention Neil Young, as we were just watching Johnathan Demme's excellent film of the Prairie Wind concert the other night and now I can't get the song "Only a Dream" out of my head (not that I want to).<br /><br />I hope everything goes to plan for you from here on in, John.<br /><br />Love to Eberle,<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-77049143712175772032010-07-10T16:08:55.441-07:002010-07-10T16:08:55.441-07:00Hi Lizzy: Thanks for the well wishes!

Yes, I have back-up, & the job had dwindled to a great degree over the past few years. I'll be ok--but thanks.<br /><br />Lorenzo: Thanks so much! <br /><br />Rene: Well, ditto--love the new look on your blog as well! Thanks a bunch--hope you're summer is going well. I hear it's pretty hot back in New England!<br /><br />Scotty: Sepia Saturdays will be back when the performing schedule starts winding down in September. Thanks for the update on Oakland--glad you're all doing ok!<br /><br />TFE: Really looking forward to this wedding gig--we've known the bride since she was a grade school & she's a very special person from a very special family! Thanks!<br /><br />Jacqueline: Thanks for your kind wishes. Actually, canoe was an option, but this didn't seem like a good match with a resonator guitar!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-27173269487243925802010-07-10T12:33:47.465-07:002010-07-10T12:33:47.465-07:00Good luck with the new changes in your working lif...Good luck with the new changes in your working life.

I'll be sad to see Sepia Saturdays go, I always enjoyed that popping up in my feed reader. <br /><br />Things down here in Oakland were not nearly as bad as the media made them out to be. It was a necessary and peaceful civil protest followed by "rioting" by a relatively tiny and pathetic group. Nothing at all like the LA riots. The media should be locked up for intent to incite hysteria though. Don't get me started!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150933585877116180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-49170045828798267612010-07-10T06:40:34.521-07:002010-07-10T06:40:34.521-07:00Hey!

I've attended a wedding <i>held</i> on a boat, but then it was a big three-master reproduction (the HMS Rose, which used to be docked here in Newport for years until owner John Millar moved her down to Newport News, VA, back in the late '80s). Pontoon boat transportation to the gig sounds interesting.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the job, but then you seem to have back-up. Good luck!Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.com
