Excellent Performance at MIT; Faneuil Hall, 6/12, 3 pm

It was great to walk in the downstairs sidedoor of the Student Center and immediately hear the vibraphone and hammered dulcimer. Their sounds carry so well! No doubt I was not the only person who followed her ears to the dance, as quite a few people poked their heads in to watch the lines and listen to the band.

A wonderful mix of instruments accompanied the vibes, dulcimer, and piano. Gene's bass guitar really adds to the depth of the music. The banjo was really special and the recorder was a terrific highlight. The piano added a ghostly dimension to the band because it is tall enough to obstruct the view of the player from the dance floor. Good thing Jonathan is such a talented pianist: otherwise, we might have thought someone else was playing.

Avi shared a fantastic waltz he wrote.

Although Avi joked about not wanting any more groupies, I'll still encourage people to go to Faneuil Hall this Sunday the 12th to listen to them perform. They'll be out from 3-7 pm. I'm not sure of the location, but if you walk around long enough, you might be able to hear them.

He doesn't, however, joke about his need for roadies right now. If any of you can help with transportation and hauling while his leg heals, it'd be greatly appreciated.
