I guess there is a reason Colorado is named from the word “Color.” The first shot was taken somewhere outside Walsenburg and in the second the tree is in the front yard of Don and Teri Richmond who hosted a great house concert for us last weekend. Don is a brilliant musician with a great recording studio. I camped out on the futon in the control room overnight. I threatened to make an album while everyone slept but I did not push any buttons and had a good night’s sleep instead.

On Saturday Susan played the Rhythms on the Rio Festival in South Fork. Every type of weather imaginable blew through during her hour-long set…first it was grey, then really windy and people had to hold their tents down. Then it rained for about 5 minutes, and then the sun came out and it was really warm. All of it was gorgeous.

Then it was on to Wyoming…
