  • Well happy Bastille Day to our French friends!!
  • Got the following note from Dar today: "So much happening in the next few months. I have a Western swing coming up in the next few weeks, and in the fall I'm releasing a retrospective album (with newly recorded acoustic versions of 12 songs, produced by Gary Louris), AND in the middle of August [the 15th], I have a very exciting concert with an excellent chamber orchestra [the Washington, DC-based IBIS Chamber Music Society] in Lexington, MA.  We had one performance on Cape Cod last year, and it went so well, we decided to take this collaboration further. " The concert takes place at the National Heritage Museum and tickets are $25 and $35.

  • Dar sings Good Thing on Patty Larkin's new release 25. Here's what Patty has to say about Dar:
    • I have been a fan of Dar's ever since I heard her song, "When I Was A Boy." She has a wonderful sense of the world and its nonsense. She takes our daily details and cuts through to the heart of the matter, writing songs for the human being in all of us. She's a whimsical realist. Dar and her beautiful family lived just around the corner from us for a time. I am lucky to know her, and to have her on my mom's favorite song.

February 16, 2010
  • A little bit more monkeying and fixing up of links to videos and such. I am not sure that everything will work for everyone as I've been running into a lot of instances where I'm blocked from seeing things because I'm coming in from Canada to a U.S. site. Let me know if links aren't working for you and/or if you have links that work from your country of origin. thanks
