AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY!
In these trying economic times (amongst other difficult issues facing our lives), house concerts are really a great way to build community. You have a house full of friends old and new, some tasty treats, and live music. Back in the "old days", people used to come together on a Saturday night just to sing. What a beautiful way to spend your evening!
Is this a sales pitch? You bet it is. Why don't you host a house concert this spring or summer? Set the date, create the ambience, and watch and see the magic unfold! You can read a blog entry about a recent house concert experience. It still makes me blush. I can help you with the details; all you have to do is be willing to open your living room or family room to the possibility! Email me or give me a call if this sounds appealing to you - - or if you are just curious! If you host one and want to do more, I can certainly connect you with some wonderful performers.
