We just got back from a concert at the Taliesin Centre for the Arts here on the University campus. We took Hannah along (a big leap of faith, past her 8:00 bedtime by far) to see Terrafolk, a Slovenian band. They are fantastic! We had front-row seats, and Hannah, being Hannah, danced in her seat to most of the tunes. We got lots of nice comments from audience members, as well as members of the band, after the show. Everyone likes an enthusiastic audience.

It's been an arts-filled weekend; last night Cliff and I went to see The Small World of Don Camillo, based on Giovanni Guareschi's collection of stories about a little Italian village in the years following WWII. In the stories, there's an uneasy peace between Catholic Priest Don Camillo and the Communist mayor of the town, Peppone. The material was adapted to screen in the 1950s. The production we saw was a monologue storyteller adaptation, with accompaniment by trumpet and accordion. Cliff likens it to an evening with an Italian Garrison Keillor. Except this particular storyteller was Scottish. Long story. But it was a very nice play.
