Thankful for Brilliance

Freshly home from a retreat of 8 heart-picked songwriters -- this the brilliant concept of Mr. Connor Garvey. Connor applied for and earned a grant from Club Passim and provided us with lodging and food for a multi-day experience as intensive and productive as any I've been a part of.  In the company of Connor, Sorcha Cribben-Merrill, Shannon Hawley, Jenna Lindbo, Heather Styka, Shannon Wurst and Brad Yoder there grew a fellowship that warmed and inspired and produced delightful new work -- solo and in collaboration.  Great thanks to Connor for this grand opportunity and to my fellow "cousins" for what just might be a lifetime of camaraderie from such a short and sweet experience.
