We did the last of the Kitchigami Library concerts today. This morning we headed to the golf course in Blackduck, where the library was hosting the concert. There were no golfers anywhere in sight, because the stream running through the course was flooded, looking more like another Minesota lake than a stream. The bridges for the golf carts were under water. But soggy weather didn't keep our loyal audience away!
Then we headed south on Highway 71 to the Bemidji Library. They had already cleared out a large area right in the main reading room, and we had a very attentive crowd of 75 people, including 20 kids! During the questions and answers afterwards, someone asked us if we might include the Swedish song "Nicolina" in a future show (same thing someone said a few concerts ago --- must consider this!!)
We feel so lucky to have met so very many good people on this tour so far; the hard working people at the venues who do all the preparation before we get there, and audiences who are interested in traditional music and Minnesota history. We are so glad we applied for the job of being the "Curtis & Loretta" folk duo 33 years ago!

One of the extra added benefits of our tour - the mini-van developed a strange noise on the road. I'm sitting in the waiting room at the car place, waiting for the verdict!
The verdict is we need a new transmission. And the GOOD news is that it happened before our extended warranty ran out. It'll pay for the whole thing... Whew!
Thank goodness for warranties! Just spotted your tour schedule in "Inside Bluegrass." Glad to hear the tour is going well (on behalf of the Arts Board).
The tour IS going well! We're very happy with the way everything is going. We even got our new transmission put in last week, and we're ready to head to southwestern Minnesota next week (Oct 22, 23 24).
