A cousin introduced us to the Kennedys a couple years ago, and occasionally they wander through the area and someone throws a house party which they play at. Some wonderful folk with a shot of hope and love thrown in. They've started playing with the Chris and Meredith Thompson who are also excellent folk singers and call themselves the Strangelings when they play together - mixing folk with pagan sounding music. Lovely stuff.
We had quite the cultural weekend - ballet on Saturday, Kennedys on Sunday. The ballet was a lovely surprise, with an expected suite by Twila Thorp to Sinatra, and an unexpected, very german, very modern dance called "Different Drummer" that was fascinating in its difference and its complexity. It is great to sample the cultural scene of Columbus and its surroundings.

Hey Ips! Sounds like a lot of good stuff happening down there. Dance is one of those rare treats, there's something about watching people use their bodies the way singers use their voices that is quite personal and moving.
Now round up all yer friends and go to the Symphony before it disappears like Brigadoon for another hundred years!
