Would love to be in a place and space where I could ramble on but…did hear several hours of your Christmas Radio yesterday. THANK YOU SO MUCH, such peace and calm and fun and pleasant sound.
Off to Vancouver again today for xrays and visit with best knee doc. God said’you go girl’ I provide the info and persistence and God opens the doors and privides angelic medical people. Being in a smaller center means you wait months and years in pain, not good enough for me.
Catch you later! Leila

Great article, especially considering I’m heading off to camp at an outdoor music festival with my kids at the end of the month. So it was an inspiring read. Hopefully I’ll get better weather conditions than Micah did though… eek!
I gotta say however that Luca definitely steals the show…. even without having been there, which is quite impressive! Speaking of papers, *he* could have made it in the paper all decked out in his folkfest attire… what a cutie! )

Hi Steve,

i appreciated all your comments on the festival… A big OH YES to Serena Ryder singing Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream. I have her album and have been listening to it almost constantly and that song still hits. I definitely want to create a painting in response to that song.

When you did your concert at prov you talked of creativity, creation and the outpouring of love. It has all been stewing in my brain and hopefully soon it will all make an appearance on a canvas.

Thanks for all you do and who you are in Christ. You use your gifts and talents and bring so much inspiration to others. God Bless!!

We’re heading off to run the performer’s area at Home County Folk Festival in London tomorrow and your musings have wet my appetite for it all. I recognized you in the pic, but haven’t met Nancy so didn’t recognize her. Glad you both could take some time for yourselves.

Heard lots of good things about the fest this year! Didn’t make it to any shows:(
Glad you got to see and enjoy some of it…

However, my friend, sister and self did attend a first-time-ever Glen Soderholm evening that weekend. WONDERFUL! Thank you for letting us know he was here! What an amazingly, talented and humble musician. David White (?) was a worthy asset to the show as well. Glen must feel honored to have his very own make-up artist along.

We are supposed to let everyone know that he will be back in October and everyone is supposed to show up and bring 5 friends – No problem!

How wonderful that you and Nance had the chance to relax together with a zillion other people. Too sit and listen instead of performing must have been kinda weird…did you feel like jumping up on stage at any point?
Glad you had the chance to take it in.
Have a great summer!

PS
When are you coming to Thunder Bay?

I get itchy to play from time to time but enjoy not having to be “on” as well. No plans that I’m aware of to get back to Thunder Bay. I’m sure I’ll get back there within the year. Cheers Rhonda! – Steve
