Weekly Report from Boulder
Yep, another busy week around here. We had two live bands in besides our regular live Monday night performance. Thursday morning was some great rockabilly from Dulcie Younger. She's fun and spirited and they had just gotten a new bass player but he had the right feel for what they were doing. Friday we had locals Devotchka for a mid day set. They sounded great but I could tell, even Noon was too early for them.

On Saturday we had the KGNU Open House. Bert did his inaugural performance of the Bach pieces he's been working on for solo guitar. I had the preview the night before so in the morning he was saying ìMy hand is tired!î Lovely set and the music was well received. That night we came back into Boulder for a show from Tarun Bhattacharya at the Boulder Theater. He plays the santoor, or hammered dulcimer. That kind of music is so wonderfully transcendental.

Thankfully yesterday was a real day off and we got out for a nice loop hike up by the Flatirons.
