Summer Greetings,
Just in case any of you are nearby, we’ll be playing at the Windsor Farmer’s Market tomorrow from 10am to 2pm. This is their special 4th of July market with a quilt and flower show. We’ll have Dan Brunetti accompanying us, and we’ll also be celebrating his 60th birthday!

On Saturday, July 31st  from 9am to noon,
We look forward to playing the Calistoga Farmer’s Market again with the 3 D’s, Danny, David and Duncan.

We spent last weekend in Laytonville camping with friends at the Kate Wolf Memorial Festival. Had a wonderful time and heard abundant great music. Also met and played with a 16 year old virtuoso fiddle player named Karl Kummerle. We had seen him once before at the Strawberry Music Fest when he was 12 and wondered what ever became of him. Well he surprised us and showed up in our camp and we fed him and played music with him off and on all weekend. We were invited by our friends Diane and Ziggy to play on the Sunset Radio show they were hosting there at the festival. We invited Karl to join us and had a blast playing 5 songs on the air. Karl played circles around us! What a treat. Can’t wait to get the recording someday!

Hope you’re all well and have a great Independence Day. Hope to see you along the way.
Love, Lindalou and Michael

Hi folks,

We’re playing the Calistoga Farmer’s Market tomorrow,
Saturday June 12th from 9am to noon at the Sharpsteen Museum Plaza on Washington Street, downtown Calistoga.
We’ll be accompanied by our good friends Dan Brunetti and David Chapman. We had hoped to have Duncan Draper and be billed as The 3 D’s… but Duncan can’t make it this time. We’ll miss him tomorrow!

We had a wonderful time at the Strawberry Music Fest over Memorial Day weekend. It started off cold and wet and even snowed on Thursday night, but the weather cleared up and the mud dried out and it was a beautiful weekend. We had a a chance to play with our friends Ginger Parish and Velvy Appleton, “Two at Most” of  “Three at Last.” Anita Sandwina is a school teacher and couldn’t get away for the festival. She was missed, but the 3 of them are currently on tour doing a series of house concerts on the East Coast. They’re all 3 great songwriters and we’d encourage you all to check them out if you get a chance!

We have a few other farmer’s markets scheduled as well as some private gigs this summer.
