About a month ago, my friend Kimberly gave me a ticket to see Bon Iver at Town Hall.
I had heard of the band, but hadn't listened yet. I kept myself in suspense until the live
show, which was on a very stormy night in NYC....
Despite my freezing and wet feet (I had not planned my footwear well) , the experience was
amazing.
I am inspired to post this now because I am listening to the new Single, Blood Bank.
SOooo good. My memories of the show are brought back -- the audience was so
charmed by Justin Vernon's humbleness at the auspiciousness of playing in the same
Town Hall that held the memories of his own inspirations from years past. For me,
my first time hearing him-- I was hanging on every lyric. I was moved. absolutely. and
even more so , to witness someone-anyone- doing what they really love. really doing it
with their whole being. Is there anything more sexy and inspiring as an artist?
Thank you to Bon Iver (which is an anglicization of the French "Bon Hiver" (good winter)
and thank you to my dear friend Kimberly for the gift of this music.

world wide web to create this art for the purpose of this blog)
