Really looking forward to our special weekend. Tonight we will be in Decatur for Tellebration. One of the tellers this year will be our friend Tersi Bendiburg. If you are in the vicinity check it out!
Tomorrow morning we'll sing with the Trinity choir at 9:45 and 11, then sneak out after the anthem to 2nd Avenue Methodist to hear my wonderful mother preach.
In the afternoon we'll head back to Decatur, this time with our friends Steve and Laurie Craw to hear a favorite singer/songwriter/storyteller, John McCutcheon, at Eddie's Attic. Fun!
An interesting coincidence: Tersi is John's sister-in-law. Sheila and I are fans of both from before John and Tersi's sister Carmen were married.
We heard Tersi first at the Georgia Writers Conference here in Rome, five or six years ago. We bought John's vinyl record, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, back in the seventies. We've heard him several times at the National Storytelling Festival, and heard him and Carmen at the Southern Order of Storytellers festival, and then a couple of years ago heard that he was doing a joint concert with
Pete Seeger
in New Jersey, made reservations for us and the girls and headed up to Rutherford. Great concert.
