a few nights ago about 25 crestonites, all over 60, got together at the home of a dear friend to celebrate some of our may birthdays. we had dinner, caught up on news and then sat down with an excellent guitar & harmonica player and sang. it was beautiful, and brought tears to my eyes. here’s a short video clip.
