these vignettes of your travels are charming. it doesn't take much imagination to appreciate the vicarious interest many of us have in them. it can be hard and lonely traveling around, and yet, the kindness of strangers and music happenings can offer recompense. we look forward to your coming to dc where it ought to be really fun busking, two fiddles, in georgetown, and on capitol hill where i live, in eastern market on saturday and sunday, and lunchtimes at the corner of pennsylvania and 2nd street across from the library of congres, where i work.
