We met
Scott and Janet Erickson in Miami for the holidays had a great time, and ended up in Sarasota to kick of guest season. And what a season it was! Is there such a thing as a quadfecta? If so, we hit a full Providence quadfecta with visits from George and Pam, Ethan, Julie and Nate, Phoebe and Joel and Jes. We also had the Brian Hart family, John, T, Dan and Laura and Kristin and Kevin on the Hart side. Walt and Bronwyn came, along with god-daughter Lea Kone to round out the family members. Beth Clarke came for the Oscar party (yes, we won the Oscar contest) and we did well from Ann Arbor too. Not only did George Fahmie and Judith Cawhorn visit, but our dear friends John and Ginger Gajar closed on a place about 20 minutes away. Seems to me that, though we’ve come to Florida, we are bringing our homeboys and girls with us and we couldn’t be happier about it!
The icing on the cake has been Billy and Becky Scott coming down. Along with Keith and Anna Townsend we now have a Maine community and, better yet, a band! Watermelon Wine, our country roots band, actually had – among other gigs – a regular Friday night job at Spanky’s Restaurant. It’s hard to convey how much fun we had playing both tunes from the old Appalachian days and new stuff as well. Ellie still sat in at the Monday night blues jam at the 5-O Club and we enjoyed catching Skip Eaton play whenever we could. Music is a huge part of our lives in Florida. If you haven’t been down to see us – or even if you have – reserve your time on the calendar to the right of this page – C’mon down!
