Jubilee

Last night was Thursday night dinner. It was a great time, new faces, some invited by other new faces. Lots of connections, lots of re-connections-- both in terms of some folks who have not been in a while, and one of the new faces is the younger sister of a guy I used to work with. Have not seen her in 10 years or more. Just showed up, not knowing. Awesome.

After dinner, John Gallaher and I started jamming. We were just going to work on some old tunes, "I'll fly away," and "the Unclouded Day." Him in guitar, me on banjo, Kamryn on an African drum Jessie has. People clapping, singing. We kept on-- some Johnny Cash, more gospel hymns-- "Power in the Blood," "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand." Whew. Should have taken an offering...
