A beautiful evening

Sunday evening we went to a Sam Amidon concert in nearby Gill, MA, at Antenna Cloud Farm, a place unknown to us and spectacularly lovely, up on a hill overlooking the mountains to the south. It was a perfect evening weather-wise, and Sam was great, as always, turning old ballads and hymns into new harmonic adventures. He plays guitar, banjo and fiddle, and was accompanied by a percussionist. His family, his parents, and his brother, Stefan, and his family, nine or ten in all, were there, and several joined him on a song. After the concert I discovered some friends I had not realized were there, and also some food: homemade bread, several kinds of cheese, and cookies! It was great!
