A Capitola Revue Show and Tell
So I thought I would give a little report and a little show & tell regarding The Capitola Revue that took place Saturday night. Many thanks to all who came out to support us and cheer us on! We all had a blast. And many thanks to Carole and Richard (owners of The Green Lantern Studios) for having us and treating us like kings and queens for the evening.
Also had a really fun week leading up to the show by being asked to hang all the art for the show in Mineral Point. It was really cool to be so involved with it. Mineral Point itself is just a gorgeous little town and has a wonderful energy to it. Plus the drive there from my house I equate to being in the “Wisconsin Mountains” (lots of rock croppings and bluffs due to the glacier activity) The town itself is built on a big hill so you can see all the buildings and lights pretty readily. And with all the Christmas decorations up and snow in the air and luminaries up and down the streets, it really felt like something out of a picture book from the 1940’s.
Saturday night was gallery night in Mineral Point as it is a little haven for artists and artisans, and the town was hustling and bustling and all abuzz. I love that sort of energy! Lots of people came in from the cold to check out what we were doing during the course of the evening and the energy of it all was just pretty exquisite.
I put together a little movie of a couple tunes we did through the course of the evening in-between readers. Mark Miskelly doing a beautiful job on guitar as always. In the last part of the movie, Caleb Mason guest starred with me onstage during the tune “If It Be Your Will” (Leonard Cohen). It was kind of a last minute type of thing, but I’m glad we got to do that together! He read earlier during the evening for the poetry portion, but also has expressed that he would like to do more in the musical realm. The other two tunes you hear here are “Between Daylight And The Dark” (lyrics featured in the Capitola by Mary Gauthier) and “I’ll Never Be Your Maggie May” (Suzanne Vega).
Enjoy!
