Re:Generation Halfway Point
At the moment we’re on a small break, just over half-way through the current Re:Generation Tour - Fall 2017-Spring 2018. We’ve been mostly east of the Mississippi so far. And we’ll be heading westward in a few days.
We’re returning to places and people we love, some we haven’t performed in for decades, like the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano where we haven’t been since 1997. Other’s like Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage is another venue that I’ve admired for decades but to my memory, I’ve never played there. It’s one of the places I’ve been meaning to get to for 40 years, and it’s finally happening this year.
My friends, Hans and Milica Theessink arrived at the house. I met them back in the early 80s when I went to do a folk festival in Vienna, Austria. Since then Milica has presented our shows throughout Austria and Germany, and Hans and I got to work together both onstage and on record (when we did the Derroll Adams) - BanjoMan. It’s a decent break for them from Austrian weather, and fun for us to enjoy a little sunshine together. They took off heading back to Vienna a couple of weeks ago.
While it’s been pretty nice weather-wise here in Florida, I’m getting pictures from The Farm of mud and snow that just keeps coming. This might be remembered as the year of nor’easters, at least in the Berkshires. Turbulent times that will be remembered for the weather… That would be good, as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve got another few days here before flying out to New Mexico and continuing the trek from there. [Details on our website www.arloguthrie.com] I’m looking forward to getting back into the fray of current affairs, altho it is nice to get a break now and again. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems like the world is spinning faster these days. Works for me. As long as the sun keeps rising…
