Really great night at Pies and Pints.

I forgot my fiddle and no other fiddlers had been confirmed as coming out. I asked Johnny and Tom about a fiddler I’ve been seeing around town the last couple weeks. He looks a lot like Charlie Beck, from the Tall Boys, and I had recently seen him walking around our neighborhood, so I thought he may be close by. Turns out they both know him and within 10 minutes Tom had phoned him and confirmed he was on his way down. Avi ended up sitting in with us for the first set and lighting it up. He’s in town for a couple weeks while deciding where to move. Seattle is in the running…

The remainder of the night held multiple lineups, including Robert Fulwiler on upright bass, Tim Wetmueller and Milly “Racoon” on fiddle, and Dizzy on various instruments. Pat, Tom, Johnny, and myself held down the core. Lots of good tunes, harmonies that continue to tighten up, and some rowdiness from the crowd. An overall nice combo for a Sunday night.
