The Spiritual Kind

We had another opportunity to see and hear Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines perform at a free concert in Exton, PA. They were simply terrific, as usual, and we are continually impressed by how congenial, friendly and just plain nice these people are.

Terri is about to release a new CD, "The Spiritual Kind" (which we have already obtained through her web site: http://www.terrihendrix.com/). This is sort of a throw back to an old style, hippie-folk blend of songs, with some swing music thrown in for good measure.

The show at Exton featured some of the new songs, along with a mix of Woody Guthrie, Texas swing, kid's tunes, and a wide selection of Terri's songs from previous CDs. Terri got all of the kids to sing and dance along to "Car Car" and other hip kid's tunes. Lloyd's virtuosity on the guitar, dobro and mandolin amazed the entire crowd.

We had a wonderful night, and we look forward to seeing Terri and Lloyd again soon. They are planning a show in the Virgin Islands next January . . . hmmmmmmm?

Visit Terri's site to hear sound clips from all her CDs.

Leipzig

The beautiful East German city of Leipzig has been the home to many famous writers and musicians. We visited a modest home where Schiller lived when he penned the "Ode to Joy".
Leipzig was also the site of one of Napolean's first defeats. The enormous Monument to the Nations commemorates the 1oo,ooo who died there.

Here is the church where Bach served as choir master and organist. The Glee Club sang there for vespers on Pentecost Monday.
Martin Luther preached here, as well.
