Lucky me, lucky me. Just got home from the Portland Cello Project performing in Kirkland. Not so lucky for them. Because a Sunday night in Kirkland is basically just old people who have no clue why 12 musicians playing Fleet Foxes and Kanye West is hysterical and families with kids who hate Vivaldi.

How you doing tonight Kirkland?!

[a few claps and my mom saying "yeah!"]

Okay!

Anyway, listen to them, especially this song, and love them.

ALSO!

Laura Gibson came out and sang a few songs. Tra la la la la!

Oregon-based folksinger Laura Gibson was a good sport when we invited her to play a mini-concert for us at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen. She drew a small crowd of curious office workers while playing a handful of delicately crafted songs.
