Andrea and I have been getting out to see a little more live music over this winter and it just keeps getting better. Last night really blew me away. I happened to notice a listing that Jon Batiste would be playing at Koerner Hall and knowing our friends Marilyn and Michael are big New Orleans […]

Hello 2015

Posted on January 1, 2015January 1, 2015by Peter Kraiker

Not for the first time I’ve been amiss in keeping my blog up to date. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say. Nor is it that I haven’t been doing interesting things. I’ll have to give some thought in the days & weeks ahead to consider what it actually is. For now I’ll […]

In my youth I took lessons on the recorder, then the flute. I played cornet and euphonium in a marching band too. Later in […]

Well… recorded live action 🙂 I spent a little time today putting together a few videos from the weekend. I’m not done going through all of the footage yet but I’ve run out of time for the moment so I’ll published what I have gotten to so far. The one I personally like is the […]

Volunteer time: SVFF

Posted on August 14, 2012December 1, 2014by Peter Kraiker

Last year some VW friends went on about how great the Shelter Valley Folk Festival was and I thought it would be worth checking out. Early bird tickets were gone and camping spots weren’t available any more in the main area so I decided to volunteer. Andrea and our friend Liz bought tickets and came […]
