Monday, May 10, 2004 Small ____ Saturday night's concert at Cup-a-Cino was great fun. The audience was small but fantastic, the café and staff were wonderful, and the other musicians were friendly and talented. As anyone who knows the area can attest, Grosse Pointe is impressive (read: expensive), but I hadn't realized that they have what looks like two downtown areas complete with locally-owned shops and coffeehouses. And for all the suburban sprawl one might expect, a cursory glance revealed that the houses were actually well-constructed, rather than just large, and many were walking distance from downtown, though I'm sure that few people do. Apparently it's an older suburb, less dysfunctional than most of the newer ones (not to say there isn't much that could be changed even there). Anna and I got plenty of compliments, and there's talk of teaching swing dancing lessons at the café (random, I know). And what were the chances of this?--of the four singer-songwriters on the schedule, both of us women were Asian-American. And Christian. To make things even more interesting, Rachanee goes to a church out in Lansing that's the sister church of New Life in Ann Arbor, and through those connections she knows Ben Rickert, who provides background vocals, djembe, and some acoustic guitar on my CD. Cliché though it may sound, it really is a small world. ^ Top | 6:41 PM | | |
