Today we played the Stone Mtn. Arts Center in Brownfield, ME. As we were pulling up to the venue, we found out that there was no cell service and no internet. When we all realized that we might be faced with no contact with the outside world, it was horrifying. “You mean, we might have to actually TALK to EACH OTHER?!?!”, was Pete Finney’s comment at the news. It was sobering. What would we all do?!?! I’m happy to report that it was wonderful! The landscape around the venue was beautiful. The folks there at the SMAC were amazing. The food they fed us was awesome. There IS something “freeing” about being out in such gorgeous nature and not feeling the need to check emails, phone messages etc……

OK….I’m sitting in my bunk typing this and Deanie walks by…. She says “Oh! Are you blogging? Can you blog about me spilling tomato on my breasts and having to wipe it off and making more of a mess on my shirt?” There ya go, Deano…. It’s now documented for everyone to see.

Back to my story… SO…. If any of you live around the Brownfield, ME area, you should really go check out a show at the Stone Mtn. Arts Center. It’s just lovely. The dinner will be amazing and I’m sure you will want to come back again and again. I sure would if I lived up here. The thought actually crossed my mind several times today. “Gee, I wonder if we could MOVE here?!?!” It’s THAT gorgeous!!

Tomorrow…. The L.L. Bean Festival in Freeport, ME…. I kick-off the show at 7:30pm, then Patty Loveless at 8:00pm… ya’ll come see us!!
