The "Two Way Street..." is one of our favorite places to go
anyway, and for anyone who knows how prestigious it is, being
asked to play here even once is an honor. But we've been
fortunate enough to be invited back more than a few times over
the years, and here we go again. We're tempted to invoke our
best Sally Field imitation and start saying, "You like us!
You really like us!"
And here's where we've played in the past:

1 June 1996 at Grantstreet Coffee
(Three hours of non-stop music. It wasn't a marathon,
it's just we were having such a good time with so
many old friends
who came out to sing, we forgot to
take a break!)
9 June 1996 at Little Red Schoolhouse Nature Center
Environmental Awareness Exposition
(Actually, this was cancelled due to the weather.
1996 will go down as one of the coldest and wettest
springs in memory, and we'll remember it too because
we missed playing at this, one of our al
l-time favorite
spots.)
14 June 1996 at Two Way Street Coffeehouse

to everyone else too.)
21 July 1996 at Woodstock Folk Festival
(What a treat for us.
We've been going to this festival
as listeners for a couple of years now, and it was a
real honor to be asked to be a part of it this year.
We had a good time playing, listening to the other
performers, and visiting with some new and old friends.)
4 August 1996 at Burning Question Coffeehouse

were smiles all around when we finished, and we're
looking forward to our second invitation.)
21 September 1996 at Karin Gardiner and Rodney Sandman's wedding ceremony
(They heard us perform at the Two Way Street
Coffeehouse 25th Anniversary bash. We didn't
know we were auditioning for t
his until about a
month before the service, but we're glad we
passed. What guests commented on mostly to us was
the old popular songs we sang as the couple were
personally ushering everyone out of the church.
And, even though we said it then, best wishes to
you, Karin and Rodney)
27 September 1996 at Gathering on Gary
(We like playing at places like this, where
everyone involved feels like an old friend by
the time the evening ends. Not to mention
being fed on some of the best sloppy joe's
we've ever eaten. And, you know, chuches
shouldn't serve turtle brownies that taste so
good, it seems like
a sin to eat them. But
we're awfully glad St. Andrew's does!)

really honored.)
