About This:
How many musicians have I met over the past 25 years? One thousand? Ten thousand? Do I remember every detail about the first time I met
them each? No, except for one - Don White. It was backstage at The Old Vienna in Westboro, Massachusetts before our very first concert together. I remember watching his show that night, astonished at how funny, how skillful, and how heartfelt his songs were. I made a mental note - work with this man again.
Finally, my dream is not only coming true... one of our shows was taped. Now, whenever I'm feeling blue, I just listen to this and all my woes float into space. I'm saving a fortune on therapy. Thank you, Don White.

I have been trying to find a way to explain to people just how much fun these co-bills with Christine Lavin are. I have never been involved in anything like it in 20 years in the music business. People are justifiably skeptical when I tell them that, except for a few strategically placed serious songs, the audience is howling for over two hours with the kind of laughter that makes you think that some of them might be peeing themselves just a little. This is a folk show after all.
People outside the folk community often expect folk funny to be kinda cutesy and not at all like REAL funny. Well, this live recording of the second concert on our 2009 summer tour in front of a full house at The Ark in Ann Arbor, Michigan speaks for itself. The laughter on it is bigger, more frequent and more enthusiastic than on many comedy albums. If you were there that night, this mp3 has captured the memory for you. For everyone else, it is a fantastic example of how much fun you will have at a Lavin/White concert. Enjoy.
