ready for a flight
i break this radio silence for a few reasons.
first, it is autumn, and this makes me content. most people love to be outside in the summer; for me, it's this time of year where i can't resist the outdoors. it's musky and cool out, and i know soon it will be pumpkin-carving and cider-making time. nothing beats it.
second, i saw charlotte martin twice last week. thursday night she was in vienna at jammin' java; friday night she was in easton at nightcat. she did four shows for her mad fast acoustic tour, and i was really lucky to be able to attend half of them. here are the set lists:
vienna:
the dance
veins
limits of our love-all is full of love
edge of the world - galaxies
madman
ready for a flight
distict sleeps tonight - outerspace
stromata
keep me in your pocket
the stalker song
one girl army
the last song
tremble
something like a hero
wild horses
easton:
is this called desire
under the gravel skies
in parentheses
any minute now
stromata
crimson sky -> habit
monster
silver honey
obstacle 1
the stalker song
the dance
tremble
beautiful life

both nights had huge highlights, but i think what i'll remember most is the tiny coffee house she played in easton. talking to matt duke and asking him to play tool for my husband. watching marc appreciate, for the first time really, the remarkable talent of charlotte. staying late afterwards and chatting with her about "a baby story" and her dogs. i haven't met many people who possess a talent that leaves me thoroughly in awe, and still radiate nothing but warmth and love as a human being. she is one of them. days later i feel my mood still elevated after spending those evenings with her, and in the company of my sis and hubby. they were a perfect way to welcome autumn to 2009.
