The Inkwell Collective

Years of dust. . .

For the 7th year in a row, we played at the Little Farmer Apple Orchard in Fond du lac. This was my very first brush with public performance nearly a decade ago (my brother ben lugged his drum kit 150 miles to play on a few songs), so i feel a little nostalgic whenever i go there. it was also the place where i proposed to my wife and the place where we conceived our first child. just kidding.

so i volunteered through this group i'm a part of to be in charge of the little farmer weekend this year. i did the sound and contacted people to play. there were several folk-singers of the pete seeger type, a few of the bob dylan type, and a bluegrass band. then we played. jesse brought his acoustic guitar and the very large pedal array and kara, emily, and jessica also played. it was very dusty and hot, but there were a ton of people there. it's hard to say if they "dug" us or not, but i did give a copy of the cd to a guy from the oshkosh public museum. he wants to get a program started where every sunday afternoon musicians are broadcast live from the museum and we might possibly be invited to play.

next we play the kewaskum kettle kountry kolors festival. i still don't know who'll be playing the show; jesse and kara won't be there, but me, emily, jessica, and scott at least will be. sounds exciting, no? no. no it doesn't.
