The birds are singing, the sun is shining (finally), and summer is in full swing. Summers are very busy here in Alaska, as any Alaskan knows well. So, if you've found a moment to spare, to sit and read this, let me offer you our sincerest thanks. We too are busy, traveling up and down the Kenai peninsula and beyond. Weekdays are filled up by work, by practice, by lawn and garden, by a whole list of tasks and projects, haphazardly taken on in a time when our aspirations extended far beyond the real hours available to us in a day. Its a bit maddening at times, the summer push, to do, to live and experience all the sweet stuff that makes our long winters a welcomed reprieve when they come. That said we DO love it! We love soaking up our many hours on the road, those setting up and breaking down our gear, the inconsistent eating schedules, the many different places that we lay our heads for the night. It all has its challenges, but we love it because its all a part of us doing what we love most, sharing our hearts and our music with so many beautiful people. Every smile, every word of gratitude and appreciation, every person silently enjoying the sounds that we make so joyfully, they all fill our cups and keep us going, keep us in the crazy flow of life. So if you have been a part of that this summer, whether we've met you or not, whether we've exchanged a passing glance, a smile, or if our paths will cross further down the road, we truly thank you. It's an honor, the greatest gift to share our music with you all. We truly believe that music is more than the notes that we sing, or the chords that we play. Music is what we create when we share in each others presence, and when we enjoy the beauty and sweetness of life together. So, thank you for being a part of the symphony and helping us create the soundtrack of Summer 2023! <3
