Lucy Kaplansky sang and played beautifully to a large, appreciative crowd at the Narrows on Saturday night. For the record: your humble blogger recommended to her that her version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" be turned into a CD single. Your humble blogger hears a hit! She's taking it under advisement.If you've seen Lucy, you know she's a friendly, sociable person, ready to take requests from the audience and to sign CDs. The crew at the Narrows also found her gracious "backstage," a very low maintenance performer.
We hope to have her back as soon as possible.
The opening act was Canadian singer/songwriter Craig Cardiff, who impressed the crowd with his songs and singing, and also his gadgetry. He had one of those loop pedals, o
r whatever you call them, and actually sang harmony with himself. It was very cool and creative. He sold a lot of CDs after his part of the show.
Many new faces came to the show, which makes us very happy! To survive, we need to keep building our audience base, and it seems we're doing that while keeping our wonderful regulars, such as Tom and Lynne and you-know-who-you-are. We love you and appreciate your longtime support of the Narrows!
Special thanks to Griffin Mfg. for making a $500 donation during the show! Griffin Mfg. is a continuing fiscal supporter of the Narrows. I'm sure they join us in asking that other folks who have donated in the past join them in "renewing" their donation to the Narrows.

Hi,
The show was great and I really enjoyed both performers very much. Just a quick question? I know that you mentioned to me that you were going to post photos and a short story about our opening "Two from SMU!", which was a nice event.
I'd like to let my family and friends know so they can check it out. Thanks a lot! You have a great thing going there at the Narrows Center for the Arts and I will be there this Wednesday evening to help with PR.
Thanks again,
Phil Oliveira
