House concerts are lovely

This is my observation for tonight: house concerts are lovely. They are a great opportunity for an artist to play in a market (like, say, Burlington) that does not have singer songwriter friendly venues, to a whole new audience of people. And, in my case, all the money from the house concert goes directly to the artist. So they can take home a healthy sum for an evening of singing, playing, and telling stories to an attentive audience. To me, that's what it's all about.

Oh, and for the audience, it's a great opportunity to see a really talented player right close up, where every person can be involved in the show. Won't get that at the ACC, that's for sure. Except for Bob Dylan, 'cause he ROCKS.

But I digress...this is the point: come to the living room, my friends...it is a lovely place.
