Digression from Book Talk
When we were first starting out, of course, we were in our twenties, with the bodies and immune systems of oxen. We thought nothing of spending nights on peoples’ couches and floors and subsisting on peanut butter and jelly, coffee and pizza. After shows, we drove well past midnight and then rose in the morning and drove another eight hours to the next gig. Back then, touring seemed inevitable. We were here, we had wheels, there were roads, and there were venues. There were radio stations and local papers who would play our music and announce our shows and people would show up to watch us play. It didn’t occur to me for a long time that everything rested on our human bodies, and that these bodies were not after all, the bodies of oxen.
glad i checked that out — beautiful — two sisters full of joy still playing together 😉
this makes me incredibly happy.
Damn, I wish I could have been there! I’ve seen you guys do that song many times, but this was inspired.
Thanks for posting this – it’s a happy reminder of a great night of music.
gosh, this makes me realize how very much i cannot wait for Feb 5!
it has been much too long to wait for my favorite dancing sisters… so, thanks for booking the show, we have missed your nearly- annual attendance in our wonderful city!
so yeah, i think you might have spoiled us in years past. because i really feel “robbed” when i don’t get at least one nields night per year.
