Richard Hardy is an amazing music host and we are fortunate to have his presence at the Canteen. He hosted Thursday evening music nights and then shifted to hosting a song circle. I have to admit I didn’t really know what a song circle was but I do know and I absolutely adore it.
Much like our Sunday afternoon Mountain Music jams, the song circle is a way for musicians to learn together and play together. Thursdays song circle gives individual artists the ability to perform and they can invite the group to join them or individuals in the group to play along. Each artist in the circle takes a turn and this continues around the circle until the playing wraps up.
It is a casual atmosphere and folks who are interested in listening in pull their chairs up around the circle.
It is also a potluck night and it is a joy to be a part of our community feeding each other. It is so beautiful to share a community meal.
Thanks to everyone who makes our community what it is. Thanks for filling up the Canteen with such joy and love.
