(no subject)
Had an open house on my home yesterday. Had 5 tours through the house despite the fact that it was pouring rain. I've had 3 more tours today and I noticed a few people driving by to check the house (I could tell because they slowed down and drove by the house a couple times) and probably to scope out the neighborhood. It's all very encouraging. I hope that this interest turns into an offer so that I can scoot on out of here and into the next phase of my life, whatever that will turn out to be.
Last night I went out with one of my sisters to hear the astonishing band Songs of Water. I saw them a few months ago at a funky club called Clementine in Harrisonburg, VA. This time they were playing in a coffeehouse/bar in Vienna, VA. How to describe their music? Think of a mash-up of Dead Can Dance, Renaissance, Boiled in Lead, Celtic, Bluegrass, folk and world music. SO GOOD. They always come on stage with about a bazillion different stringed and percussion instruments from all over the world. Plus, they feature the hammer dulcimer in many of their songs and I adore the sound of the hammer dulcimer. I particularly appreciate the middle European and Middle Eastern inspired riffs they do because they feature such unusual beats and scales. Anyway, I love these guys (and gal). I think they're destined to become big.
Here's one of the songs from their pending new album. It's a mellow tune called "Ashe".
