Up 7, worked at E77 8:30 to nearly 1. Lunch. An elderly woman who apologized for her English tried to discuss her banking issues with me. Voicemail from Laura asking if I could talk about the “folk process” around a song in the show. Came home and tried to get into some tasks.

- Partially cleaned tub.

- Took a bunch of things that were too heavy for Bree downstairs to our storage space.

- Worked on the rest of the songs for tonight, inc. another Guy Clark

- Figured out something to say about “Handsome Molly” and “Dublin Blues”

- Cleaned an partly assembled a found CD cabinet.

- Talked to someone from Bree’s insurance provider.
