The leaves are still changing. DIane and I did the 6mile  catamount/ honey hollow loop this morning

 

I always love seeing the Wooten’s place in the fall. THis is the first year since Ken passed. We were thinking of him as we walked by.

We headed back home and worked around the house until the evening. We headed out early with an intent to see our friends paul webb and paul gittlesohn .. and maybe our mutual freind Vlad play an end of season piano session at shelburne farms. pauls been playing there for more than 30 years !  But.. on our way there I saw an email from paul g saying it was next week instead.   So we headed straight to higher ground.. had a quik and delicious fish and chips =dinner and headed in to the whale aide show at higher ground. (wow. HG twice in a week.. its been a long time since that happened ! ) 

First up was Ryan.. he played some ne w Guster stuff which I really liked. He said he isnt used to playing solo..though he sounded great !

 

He brought a strong quartet to play a couple of songs with him .. sounded great !

Next up was Chad O from Dispatch/State Raio. He was fantastic.. he gets so much music out of just one voice and guitar !

 

At the end Chad invited Ryan up to ply nd they did a couple of songs. It was so great they were having so much fun !

 

We hung around a little more to hear the show mainliner whcih was steve marley (one of bob marleys son. .. He was great.. but we were beat.. so headed home early

 

NIce nite !

Fall colors are finally happening. somethjign like 2-3 weeks late ! . Diane and I took a quick hike up Libby’s look to take it all in. 

 

 

tonight we went to Arron and Soshi’s house. They were having a secular Shabbat dinner… Lots of my jewish friends are very worried about Israel ..  It was good to come together and talk 

 

we got to hear Arron and Sosh’s origin story which is pretty great. THey met in elementary school in a small town in Jersey.. and have been orbiting each other ever since.
