Saturday Night Breakdown

Saturday evening found us playing lots of music! Richard and I started at the Westcustago Family Dance in North Yarmouth. Jeff and Maggie are the core of this band, and invite all to come and play along. The group varies from month to month, but it's always fun, and the time passes so quickly! The family dance is over before we know it, and we'd like to just keep playing!

Tonight we had our wish granted. A fellow fiddler mentioned to us that a bunch of others were gathering at a home in Bowdoin to fiddle the evening away, kind of a kitchen jam. So, off we went, following directions through the moonlit night down to the end of a dirt road. What a great evening we had. I think all the musicians there were connected to Fiddle-icious, but the tunes expanded well beyond that repertoire. Having a dozen or more musicians (mostly fiddles) gathered together in the kitchen/family/living/dining area was a lot of fun. I've never actually attended a kitchen party but have heard of them. I think if there were dancers, we could have opened up the floor to accomodate them! As it was, we were all just happy to be able to spend the evening sharing tunes... and even some goodies at the end! Thank you Val and John for opening up your home :)
