I woke this morning to the familiar sound of a long string of fireworks going off below my window. It was about 6:30, and it’s interesting that it no longer startled or surprised me. Guatemalans love fireworks and in Antigua they celebrate by setting them off first thing in the morning most mornings. Four years […]
It’s a…
We had a great visit to the midwives’ office. It turns out that our long-time friend Vicki was our lab technician for the ultrasound, and it was wonderful to have such a good friend show us around our baby. It’s about five inches long now, head to bottom, and looks like a baby instead of […]
Serving Size
Yesterday I was hanging out at a friend’s place on the Medina river… My friend Wendy Sue from California offered me a Teddy Graham cookie, but I declined because I couldn’t be sure I could finish a whole serving of… 47 cookies?!?! I spent part of my time there working on a new song, too. […]
Home On The Range
Almost every year for the last dozen or so I’ve made an annual pilgrimage to the Kerrville Folk Festival, an eighteen-day long music festival in Kerrville, Texas. It’s holy ground for me. Hot, dusty, chigger-ridden, sweaty, holy ground. There’s music on the stages each night and it’s wonderful, but the real magic […]
Back to Guate
I’m heading back down to Guatemala next month with Caroline Proctor, who is going to be the new director of PEG. I’ll post pictures from there. The two cyclists who are raising money for the retaining wall and new school construction in Chacaya are doing very well. We tallied up some numbers the other day […]
Yes We Cannes
My friend Stephanie Winters sent me this link as a P.S. to a note about some other stuff. She and Walter Parks were accompanying musical legend Richie Havens performing in Cannes at the Film Festival this year, apparently at an event honoring Sean Penn. Stephanie is the cellist who plays all over my most […]
On the Road Again
Coppell, Texas I left Asheville at 3:30 in the afternoon on the day before yesterday, and last night played a house concert near Dallas with my long-time friend Beth Wood. What a treat to see and hear her again. She’s getting married this fall, and moving to Colorado, so you Coloradans keep an ear out […]
Gorges (gorgeous)
For my birthday, my parents took a picnic basket to the Veranda, a wonderful soup and sandwich place in Black Mountain owned by an old friend of mine. They paid for lunch for two and let us know it was there whenever we wanted it. All we had to do was call in our lunch […]
The biggest news
Well, here goes — might as well just spill it: We’re going to have a baby. 😉 Deanna’s due November 20, and we couldn’t be happier. We went for our second ultrasound this week and crossed the twelve week mark, so it’s time to share the good news! Looks just like me, huh? Answers […]
Canvassing
I spent a few hours canvassing on election day. Did a little door-knocking in my own neighborhood and then made some calls from the back deck. My rough script was “Hi, this is David LaMotte calling and I’m volunteering for the Obama campaign, just checking in to make sure you got a chance to vote […]
