Have fun!

Chanteyranger & Radriano do a wonderful job of performing together. I've seen far too little of them lately. San Francisco seems to get a little farther away every year....

Can you guys put some stuff up on YouTube?

I have a gig on that day (playing nyckelharpa for my 93 year old Swedish friend's birthday) but I would love to video you if there
is a future date. If there could be permission to do so, let me know!

One of my nieces has been resident (and working!) in San Francisco for the last two months. She may drop by with a friend and check it out.

Cheerily,
