Dear friends,

We hope you’re all safe from fires and smoke. It’s been pretty smoky here in Calistoga and dreadfully hot this past week, but we’re all well here so far! We send our heartfelt thoughts to all who have been affected by these devastating fires lately. We’ve been working really hard the past 2 weeks to make our home in the dense woods more fire safe. It’s an endless job but it’s starting to look park like around here. Napa County/CDF has come up to chip huge brush piles for us 3 times already. What a great service they provide for free!

This is very short notice and many of you are way too far away to come anyway, but just in case you’re near Calistoga tomorrow morning… we’re playing the Calistoga Farmer’s Market again and have a couple of other dates coming up as well.

Saturday, July 12th 9am to noon
On Washington Street by the Community Center.
We’ll be accompanied by our friends Dan Brunetti and David Chapman

Sunday, July 27th, 10am to 1pm
Windsor Farmer’s Market
Downtown Windsor off Hwy 101
We’ll be playing as a duo this time.

On Saturday, August 9th, 9am to noon
At the Calistoga Farmer’s Market again.

Best to all of you,
Lindalou and Michael

Greetings!

It’s been awhile since we’ve been playing in public much, although we did today in the Calistoga Visitor Center. This wasn’t planned, but we were volunteering to help out with the local Jazz Festival and though we’re not jazz musicians, people kept encouraging us to play, and we just happened to have our instruments in the car, so…

We’re happy to have been asked to play a few gigs recently. We have until April to practice up for the first one. We don’t have all the details yet, but we thought we should at least get the dates out there since some of you have been asking when we’re playing again. We’ll fill in the details as the dates get closer.

October 21st We’ll be playing at a Memorial Celebration of a dear friend we sadly said goodbye to recently. Some of you may have had the good fortune to know Diane Bodach,
a beautiful poet and singer, who finally left us last week after a long struggle with cancer. She wanted her memorial to be a big party filled with music and joy, and she requested certain songs she wanted us and several other friends to sing. She’ll be missed by many. If you’d like to join us in celebrating Diane’s life, here is a link to the invitation.

We’ve loved the little bit of rain we’ve had and know we need more… but hope for clear weather on these weekends! (All of the outdoor gigs are weather permitting.)

Hope all of you are well and enjoying life.
Yours in harmony,
Lindalou and Michael

Happy Fall to Ya’ll!
We’re still recovering from way too much fun last weekend camping at the Strawberry Music Festival. We spent 4 hot days dancing to great music, riding bikes, swimming in Birch Lake and sharing meals and songs with dear friends and family, jamming through the nights into the wee hours with countless great musicians. Always a joy to be there but a challenge to get back to “reality” and our full time jobs!

If any of you will be near Calistoga the next couple of weekends we’ll be playing in town and would love to see you. Come by and say hi between songs if you’re there!

Tomorrow:
Saturday Sept 8th –9am to noon…
Calistoga Farmers Market
On Washington Street by the Community Center.
We’ll be playing with Dan Brunetti and David Chapman.

The following weekend:

Hope to see some of your familiar faces soon and get to know those of you who’ve recently signed our mailing list.
Be well,
Lindalou and Michael

Hi All,
Summer is passing quickly as it always seems to do. We’ve been working a lot and playing whenever we can. Thanks to all of you new folks who’ve recently signed our mailing list. We’ve had a really nice response the last couple of places we’ve played which always makes us want to play more often!

We have a couple of things coming up we want to let you all know about just in case you happen to be coming to Calistoga in the very near future!

Tomorrow night August 4th at the Calistoga Roastery (1426 Lincoln Ave. Calistoga) from 5:00 to 10:00 there is an event where poets, musicians and storytellers pay a dollar a minute to perform and all funds raised benefit Calistoga’s “Relay for Life.”

Our friends Nick Triglia and Roastery owner Clive Richardson have organized this open mic event, calling it “The Ketchup Festival” (a takeoff on Napa Valley’s annual Mustard Festival.)
We’ll be paying to play a few songs there at 8:30pm.

The Relay For Life is a huge benefit for the American Cancer Society. We’ll be providing music for that on Sept 15th and 16th at Calistoga High School. We hope to have several of our accomplished musician friends volunteering to play throughout the 24 hour event.

We’re also playing at the Calistoga Farmer’s Market again
on Saturday August 11th from 9:00 am to noon.
Dan Brunetti and David Chapman will accompany us.

Hope you’re all well and enjoying plenty of live music this Summer!

Peace,
Lindalou and Michael
