Antje Duvekot in Syracue

Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round
Some things will rise up so that others come down
If the devil don’t dance, heaven won’t shine
It’s a mighty thick haze and it’s a pretty thin line
If the facuet is tightened up the love won’t flow
If the love isn’t bright enough the corn won’t grow
If the night isn’t dark enough the moon won’t glow

~Antje Duvekot, Merry-Go-Round

Ellis Paul Concert

We had a great time at the Ellis Paul concert sponsored by the Cornell Folk Song Society. The concert was in a lecture hall on campus, so EP started the evening by saying, “Turn to page 127 of your textbooks.” As always, his between music banter was interesting and funny, and his music was amazing. I’ve seen him perform in many venues, to many sized crowds, and it doesn’t matter if it is a very small group or a packed house, he gives his all to the music.

Ellis Paul/Antje Duvekot Concert

We flew to San Diego to see Ryan and Jodi and attend the Ellis Paul concert with Antje Duvekot opening (hosted by Acoustic Music San Diego). Obviously, I was completely giddy. I would have been over the moon just to see Ellis Paul, but I didn’t expect how phenomenal Antje would be. After the concert, it took me some time to gather the courage to ask if I could have a picture taken with them…George was so embarrassed, he hardly paid attention, hence the blurry image.
