Well.
The Mr Sun Ellington’s Nutcracker Tour is a wrap. Every show was musically successful with its special highlights, but a few shows stand out: Joe’s Pub with Tony and Alex, our ‘hometown’ shows at One Longfellow, Sacred Heart, and at Analog with so many of our dear ones in the audience; the wild sellout show at the spectacular Groton Music Hall; The incredible, inexplicable Stoughton Music Hall, which made a 4-camera multitrack video of the show for us, just because they can; the super-intense 2 afternoon shows at the National Gallery Of Art in DC, the warm, open and exceptionally comfy SPACE in Evanston, with some of the best violinists in the world sort-of-not-judging me in the audience (I do that best for myself); camping out at each others’ various domiciles. camping out at old friends’ homes… The Band’s 10th anniversary just 2 days before the start of the tour…!…and those VERY long van rides… we’re all still speaking to each other! Mostly! Fave band of all time! Thanks everybody!
