kiriel123 asked: What's one of your favorite memories from this year?

 It’s really hard to pick! This year has had a number of really great moments (as well as some very tough ones). But I’m going to go with the Abigail Washburn & Wu Fei concert we were able to attend in February. It was one of the first times I was in a crowd since 2020 and that aspect made me nervous, but masks were required and that made me willing to go.

I’m glad I did, since it was absolutely magical. I love their album and they played basically the whole thing plus some extra songs that aren’t included. Wu Fei did this experimental guzheng piece where she turned it on its short edge and sang into the back. It was wild! It was also just really fun to see their camaraderie--they’re clearly close friends and it enriches the musical exchange, I think.

Oh, Abigail Washburn! I saw her quite a few years ago opening for Robert Earl Keen. I should get this new album!

Yeah! R enjoys her music a lot and the album with Wu Fei is delightful.

This is so cool!! I love live music and concerts - there really is something magical about being in a crowd of people all singing together

I'm not the biggest concert-goer, but I looove live singing a lot!
