Awesome Duende show last night on Nantucket. We did a nice, tight 45 minute set to a decent crowd, which included my high school music teacher…the woman who was at least in part responsible for the series that gave me my first ever poetry feature in July of 1978 — over thirty years ago. I felt both old and complete with that, like a circle was being closed.

As a note to drgeorge — her daughter looks EXACTLY like Barbara did back then. WEIRD to see them sitting together…

That felt weird and cool, as did performing on the same stage that Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Frederick Douglass lectured from in their day. A nice bit of continuity on the International Day of Peace.

We’ve been invited back to perform on Dec 7 with Regie Gibson, but I think we’ll have to pass as I’ll be heading out to Charlotte for IWPS early on the next day.

More tomorrow on the weekend and what’s coming up…
