I think I may be able to tune in from the Monterey airport while I am waiting got my flight home. Meanwhile I am trying to remember if this is a summer that Jay and I went to the Tanglewood show. For sure, we attended during the summer that I was working in Maine (becuase it was "close," being only two states over), but whether that was in 2010 or 2011, not so sure.

About tonight's guests:
The Steeles
Growing up in Indiana, Jearlyn Steele sang with her siblings as The Steele Children. One by one, they moved to Minnesota and started singing together again. Now music is the family business. Jearlyn also hosts Steele Talkin’, a Sunday-night radio show that originates on WCCO in Minneapolis. In the 1980s, Jevetta Steele — along with her family group, The Steeles — toured the world in the musical The Gospel at Colonus. The show had another successful run at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in 2010. And many remember Jevetta’s Academy Award-nominated performance of “Calling You,” from the film Baghdad Café.
Chris Thile
Chris Thile made his first appearance on A Prairie Home Companion in 1996. He was 15 and had already been playing mandolin for a decade. He’d also started Nickel Creek with Sara and Sean Watkins. This Grammy winner and MacArthur “genius” grant recipient now leads acoustic quintet Punch Brothers, among other projects. Thile’s recent solo album is titled Laysongs. Chris will be featured on tonight''s classic PHC show.
Sara Watkins
Singer, songwriter, fiddle player @sara Watkins was only eight when she, her brother Sean, and Chris Thile started the genre-bending, Grammy-winning trio Nickel Creek. Two decades later — with Nickel Creek on indefinite hiatus — she struck out on her own. Her latest solo album is titled Under the Pepper Tree. She is currently touring with Nickel Creek on the Celebrants tour.
Christine DiGiallonardo
New York-based vocalist Christine DiGiallonardo is at home singing in early-music chamber ensembles as well as jazz and rock bands. She performs solo and with her sisters, Daniela and Nadia, as The DiGiallonardo Sisters, and her voice can be heard on commercial jingles for Aquafresh, Mr. Clean, Playtex, and Febreze. Her theater credits include Carousel (Live from Lincoln Center), Lady, Be Good! (City Center Encores!), The Sound of Music(Carnegie Hall), and My Fair Lady (Avery Fisher Hall). Christine will join us for the first of the 50th Anniversary shows in Lancaster, PA on July 29th.

I decided to just not bother with listening to the show right now. The laptop is being pokey about sound output and I do not like headphones or even er buds anyway.

I was at Esalen Institute for the Mon - Fri week, for a workshop or seminar or "laboratory" experience called "Sound to Screen," led by a husband-wife team withe years of Hollywood experience now doing mostly consulting and indie film work. The participants were largely screenwriters or wanna-bes and authors, but also open to people with other creative projects they have been trying to work on.
Great group, very helpful and talented, all around.

I don't remember this particular lineup. The line-up doesn't strike a chord with me either, but then I've been to a LOT of their shows and I forget a lot. I do vividly remember the one where Arlo Guthrie and GK got into a "discussion" about the noisy chickens and how they could not run wild because "This land is MY land..."

It's an early idea not really a defined project yet. But I believe we need to bring story and storytelling into health care, particularly the practice of medicine.

I do think that 2010 was the summer I spent in Maine, so since this show is from 2011, it may be that I/we weren't there, though I do recall going to Tanglewood to see GK/APHC and others more than one summer.

I'm not so sure. I don't remember this particular lineup. Hey Jay, You guys went on June 26th, 2010. Thanks for the research, DW. I don't think we hit the show consistently at the beginning. But once we got going we pretty much made Tanglewood every year. Funny, they were talking about Bill Monroe, and I just saw where Bobby Osborne died. He lived there in Hyden, KY where my mom was from. He was teaching in the Bluegrass department of the Hazard Community College, which had a campus there in Hyden. He was pretty central to getting that program going.

I just had a flash the last day or two, doc; I need to check on a reservation for Storytelling! I've had trouble making a reservation in May, before, so I best get after it.

I think that the times I got to see a PHC live the outdoor or open to the outdoors venues were more enjoyable than the interior ones. Not sure why, except that I believe he roams the audience more before and during the middle!

I got that email about Bobby Osborne just yesterday. So many that we admire have died now, comes with getting older.
My roommate and I (at Esalen, I chose the "shared accommodations" option where they assign one or two other roomies of the same gender) discussed that very issue. She had been hoping that more of the people from "the old days" would be there, but Esalen has changed, appealing to a younger demographic too, and so many of the elders are gone. There are many great new people too.

Not sure why, except that I believe he roams the audience more before and during the middle! Definitely at the outdoor shows he feels free to roam about the audience, it is a more casual and looser environment, and one is also out in nature - different vibes. The scene at Flagstaff is really different, Tanglewood is outdoors but still a bit more contained. Indoors historically more crowded, except recently his shows have been in much smaller venues.

That is a reminder: "Note to self" as I should also buy tickets. However, with reunion and Esalen this month, the wedding on September, storytelling tickets and most importantly, hotel rez need to be on my list. Sigh - I have a very long list and it was nice spending a week in hiding where no list of tasks could find me.

The last show at the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul was so packed, but a fitting way to see him go out.

You know, they have Storytelling for health there in Jonesborough. The storytelling center is partnered up with the med dept at ETU in Johnson City. I called them up at the center and talked to one of the program development people for oh, 10 or 15 minutes. I didn't realize that I was using storytelling in my nursing Homecare. Storytelling style, anyway. I'd have patients from all over the US, east coast mostly, and I had to be able to get on their level!

And I think I shall gird up and go through security now while the vibes are right. But this is a small airport, seems pretty friendly. Also need to plug in my laptop, no power outlets on this side.
Back in a bit, pretty sure. NO more threats of Gitmo since I started going through the Nude-O-Scope. Had too because of the artificial knee, though the clerks do seem less punitive these days.

OK, I'm back. Sorry, I was gone the first few minutes, getting my supper together.
Have you seen your Storytelling newsletter, doc? About the president leaving? Headed back to the UK, evidently, family concerns.

No I think I might have seen the email but haven't read it yet. I will miss Kirin as I think he has done a great job. When he first arrived I was dubious, as he was still wearing his kilts and seemed perhaps unsuited to the job. But Jimmy Neil Smith and the board knew what they were doing. Will he still be there in October?

This is a very nice Charging Hub set up but I had to reorient my direction to get enough bars to transmit promptly.
And security was really easy, the folks were actually really nice and friendly! Small airport plus at the moment I happen to appear very fragile what with the cane and all. I was exhauseted by the week - emotional work, but still taxing.

Will he still be there in October? I kind of got the impression that he has to get going, not hang around for several months. I should think this year's Festival is in pretty good shape.

I'll look for the letter. My inbox and messages are a mess since I ignored them for a week.
