This is such a great model for a community live-music series: 16 years strong. And, though I've certainly been through town in
intervening moments, it's been an embarrassing
seven years since I appeared under the Coffeehouse banner-proper. This is also a nice spot to kick of the spate of
'Project' 10th-Anniversary shows that will appear this year, as I celebrate the passage of a decade by highlighting and celebrating many of those songs and communities. (Choice line tonight from
My Northwest Home: "Hard times have hit us too, you know, but see how we move on / When our logging towns go belly-up they go Bavarian.") Many more to come!
Seattle folk think I'm nuts for booking this gig this time of year, but I love the
Bavarian Paradise in winter...though, to be fair, this town has stunning scenery to offer in all seasons. And though the evening's black-ice onset likely keeps some folk in, I lodge no complaints: how could I, when I'm waking up to
this view (plus snow) from the
Barn Beach Reserve's cozy River Room? Or this, from Icicle Ridge later that next morning?:
