I'm still aglow from the 2-days plus that Tommy, Moya and Fionan spent in Juneau this week.

As noted above, he does wonderful concerts - this was his fourth trip here - and it has gotten only better since Moya and now Fionan have joined him.

Juneau is actively involved in supporting artists and this was no exception. There were not quite 250 people - an isolated single seat available here and there - in attendance at the concert and the trio had them in the proverbial palm.

The next evening we had a music party for them in a private home; there were about 20 of us there. At a certain point Tommy brought out his handheld recorder and recorded a number of songs that were going on. Buddy Tabor, Juneau's premier (imo) songwriting artist, was there and Tommy recorded all three of the songs he sang.

Oh, and earlier that day (Friday) he had a book-signing session at a local used-book store which also was well attended. I don't know how many books and CDs he sold but it was a respectable number.

They were booked in Haines (the next town up the line, 4 1/2 hours by ferry) for last night. Yesterday I called some friends who now live in Haines to give them a headsup and they already had their concert tickets. From there, I believe they are going to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
