Thanks! A good time was had by all. The residents have all been vaccinated but there are still limits on guests, including no children. Great grandma was pleased, at least in part because she could show him off to all her friends and staff. They are all (understandably) bored out of their minds.
Wow! Now that's a small world.
Here's a funny Blood Oranges story. I have a friend here in the DC area named Mary Battiata who is a singer-songwriter (and also an elementary school teacher and before that a journal for the Washington Post covering, among other things, the murder of Dian Fossey, the war in Bosnia, and the revolution in Romania). A few years ago, we discovered that we each were very fond of the CD Northeast Kingdom, by Cheri Knight, the bass player for the Blood Oranges. In fact, Mary said that Northeast Kingdom was a big influence on her before she made her first CD, Cul-De-Sac Cowgirl.
In the Before Times, probably 2019, I was rummaging through the bins at a local used CD store and came across Cheri Knight's first CD, The Knitter, and also the Crying Tree, by the Blood Oranges. I listened to them for a while and thought they were awfully good. Sadly, the CDs are out-of-print and you can't download or stream the music, as far as I know. Later that year, Mary was playing at an outdoor festival in Takoma Park, Maryland, pretty near my house. My wife and I and some friends went. I brought along the two CDs, because I thought Mary would like to hear them. Before her set, I took them over to Mary, who looked at the Crying Tree and said "people used to tell me my music sounded like the Blood Oranges, but I've never heard their music."
^ Northeast Kingdom, eh? I know what that's about...
In fact, I was visiting friends in Greensboro VT and sent my friend Mary a picture of something in the Northeast Kingdom, which is what led to the conversation about Cheri Knight's CD. I have no idea why the CD is called Northeast Kingdom, however. From what I've been able to tell, Cheri Knight didn't even live in Vermont.
