Peter Rowan Concert

  Yesterday, we had the privilege of seeing Peter Rowan performing solo in an intimate venue a few miles West of Boulder - the Caribou Room in Nederland, CO. An unexpected surprise was the talent and virtuosity of singer/songwriter Danny Shafer. Our sense is that the Caribou Room will follow along the great tradition of music in Nederland that began with the Caribou Ranch (unrelated to the Caribou Room).  Every last attention to detail is attended to - both for the performers and the audience.  Acoustics are some of the best I've ever heard and once the word gets out, I suspect it will become another one of "the" places to perform at - perhaps not Red Rocks, but far more intimate. It is, about the music after all ... right? Photography notes:  Shot with Olympus O-MD E-M1, Panasonic Lumix 2.8, 35-100 lens at ISO 6400 (not bad for micro four thirds, eh?).

Walk Me Out in the Morning Dew

History has pretty much forgotten both Quicksilver Messenger Service and John Cipollina, slotting them into the second tier of San Francisco bands along with Big Brother, Country Joe and the Fish, etc. The two YouTube clips below, capture both Cipollina and Quicksilver’s raw energy, and it’s my humble opinion that they belong in the pantheon
