Seems like since porches went 'out', everyone switched to back-of-the-house decks. Wonder why there aren't more decks at the front?

Yes, KT plays the fiddle. When I first met her, almost 20 years ago, I thought that was what she did- I didn't know she sang!

Since I don't have a front porch story, I'd like to share my yesterday.

I had a nice day. The weather here in Juneau for the last week has been gorgeous- if by that one means temperatures in the 70s with a light breeze, low humidity, bright blue sky with high puffy clouds. You know - the kind of thing y'all get 'down south'. (Here in Alaska, down south is anywhere from Minnesota on.) Here in a temperate rain forest we don't often experience it. Personally if I had to choose between them, I'd opt for the moist, cool, sweet air that is normal for us, but this kind of weather is wonderful, from time to time and just temporarily. (Hush, KT. Some people just don't know when they're well off.)

Anyway, yesterday I traveled on the tram up through the green forest to a restaurant at the top of a mountain to meet the two people who are planning our second annual Mountain Music Fest in September. My role is to select and book the performers- in other words, the fun part.

We sat there at the windows with the treetops outside with our lemonade and we planned and plotted happily. I showed them my list of YES performers and the sample poster for the event.

We decided: If you promote it, they will come.
