I didn't take quite so many pics during our last two weeks of show cuz we were busy having so much gosh darn fun. We played our first ever (and second and third) house concert.
#1 was with the great Wendell Kimbrough (wendellk.com), whom you should all know, at the "Scooby Doo Mansion" in DC, a lovely house concert venue run by six great new friends.
#2 was at (amazing) artist Mark Sprinkle's place in Richmond, home of a kind, creative and inspiring family of Mark, Beth, Calloway, McKinley and Calder + heroic Griffin the dog.
#3 was at the SHARE house, yet ANOTHER inspiring couple in Travetta and David in Knoxville, TN. Some pics are below from their beautiful home, venue, and creative hub for their community.

| Pre-show view from the stage. What an awesome venue they created in their backyard. |
From there we went to Johnson City for a fun return to Living Word Lutheran Church in the morning and the legendary Acoustic Coffeehouse venue in Johnson City. In the middle we took a nap (3-hours...definitely needed) at our new friends' place and woke up to this kind message :)

| Coolest sign ever for our show at the Johnson City Acoustic Coffeehouse. The crowd was big and excited, we were blown away... It was fun to see so many strangers sitting at the edge of their seat listening to the story of Ezekiel's Wheels in the sky accompanied by Bassoon. |
Warming up pre-show before Knoxville's Blue Plate Special.
 |
| Outside the visitor center: WDVX broadcast's it's live lunchtime show online from the Visitor Center. Very cool. We loved playing this, never done a concert on the radio with a live studio audience... |
 |
| Great turnout for our first visit to WDVX! |
 |
| Got lost in the woods in Knoxville, never lost my confidence though. |

| Playing piano at the house of two of our heroes in Nashville :) |
 |
| First visit to the Grand Ol' Opry (we were in the audience :) . No where quite like it... |
Nashville was awesome, we played our second show at Rock of Ages and got to connect with some of our favorite people and musicians while we were in town. Tennessee is an amazing state, mountains, music, BBQ, it has it all! What a place...
15 hours from Nashville and we were back home ready to unpack.
And here is our final unpack! (Linda helped)
Over 5 weeks, 25+stops and 6300 miles (6800 is from NYC to Beijing... next time)
