ParticipantVery nice, especially the Garcia Lorca reference: Deep Song, “cante jondo” I think in Spanish, is one among many influences upon Lucinda.

ParticipantJust a little bit more on the blog I posted re: The Breadloaf Writer’s Conference, this took place in August 1961.(Just amazing what you can search for on the Web).I’m not at the office today and enjoy the research.
Here’s a link to a front porch picture of the college while Lucinda and the blog writer were inside sitting on the kitchen floor. Maybe this was Lu’s inspiration to create the “Kitchen Tapes”. 🙂
Obviously Lu would have been only 9 years old in 1961 so she must have met the blog writer at the conference later-say early 1970’s.Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference fellows posed on the porch of the Little Theatre on Bread Loaf campus, August 1961. Individuals pictured include, rear: Milton White; front row, left to right: Miller Williams, Kaye Starbird Jennison, Robert Frost, Milton Kessler and David Delman.
(Robert Frost passed away two years later)
Here’s the link to the archived photo.Move the down arrow to see the full pic.

21. Blessed (Doug returns)A small, historic theater, circa 1926, with reserved seating downstairs and general seating upstairs. Two small bars serving beer and wine. A refreshing change from the clamor and protocols of the Birchmere.
A short, but powerful, thunderstorm rocked the area about 7 PM, and several seats were wet from roof leaks.

Different Matt I think, tony–though our merch guy is a multi-tasker. Hell though, it might be the same.

ParticipantMatt was introduced as a singer-songwriter from Austin, who was born in a small town somewhere close to Easton. There were sarcastic comments about him escaping the town at an early age, but I was not attuned to the local humor. I just googled him, and the following myspace page is an accurate depiction of the performer and his songs:

KeymasterThat’s Matt the Merch guy for sure. He told me he lives in Austin, as I think all of Eric’s guys do.

ParticipantWhy that sly dog. “Multi-tasker” doesn’t begin to capture his essence. Hopefully, he got to sell/sign his own record simultaneously at set break. Wish I had hung for this one. . .

ParticipantMatt is our renaissance man.

ParticipantRenaissance Man is what I always call Stoger, due to his affinity for smart phones and Facebook. 😆
