Katie, is that BIGGLES or CERNE?
Rob, were you at Oumou Sangaré's show last night? (i love how the rain did not start until AFTER she had finished!)

i had seen her only once before, Central Park some years ago
she was so amazing -- so much grace and energy in all that humidity! her band, and back up singers too -- soooo *jealous*
(i got there super late -- missed the opening act 😩 -- i looked around to say hi -- but no way could i find you two in that crowd!)

it was kinda last minute that i was able to go
really intrigued by Sara Curruchich -- "a Guatemalan singer-songwriter of Kaqchikel descent. She sings in both Spanish and the Kaqchikel language, and is one of the first musicians to use the latter in popular music"
she is the opener on August 18 at Celebrate Brooklyn -- trying to remember if you have played her music ?

Slugluv - the chins also tell. White is Cerne. Black with a stripe is Biggles. That's the only way I knew that pic was Cerne.

Man, I am WIPE(RE)D. Spent all day on the water leading a Public Paddle. It was brutal out there. 90F, swimmable air, beating sun. I think I'm a little sunburnt. And I haven't eaten since 9 AM. Or been in shade. Yowza.
Glad to be home with you all.
