In the Books

Thanks to the Germantown Community Library for having us out as part of their summer reading program. We played outdoors on one of the most beautiful nights of the summer, thus far. It worked out great. Jan, Barbara, Noah and the other fine folks at the library did a great job promoting the show, and we enjoyed playing to what was truly an "all ages" audience. Good times.

Not that anyone asked us to, but being the conscientious guys we are, we tried, but had a bit of trouble, drawing links from our melodic folk-rock stylings to reading and such. We do have a song with "books" in the title (see the top of this blog). We have T-shirts with a typewriter on them. And, well, we've all read some books that have, in some way, certainly impacted the writing of some of our songs. Is that good enough?

Evidently it was, 'cuz folks seemed to dig the tunes, and this was a highly educated bunch! How do we know? Well, we did a quick, highly unscientific poll that proved, in fact, that the kids out in Germantown are darn good readers! Way to go, guys!! Browse on over to centralstandards.com and check the "show archives" page for a full photo spread documenting this great night.

And speaking of all ages shows, mark your calendar for Wednesday, July 19, when we'll play for the first time at the fantastic Otherlands Coffee Shop on Cooper (they sell drinks for folks of all ages) from 8 to 10 p.m. This will be a rare full-band acoustic show. Don't miss it!
