Hi good folks. Heartnsoul checking in! I'm new to these parts, but not from lack of trying. I've been a fan of OTR for a few years now, and I've collected quite a few albums and have seen them live (around NYC) each tour so I guess I'm not really a newbie.

Funny thing is, I could never get into the garden. I tried several times to join and for some odd reason I never, until today that is, got an email reply. No, it wasn't junked either. (Yeah, I felt kind of rejected, but that's in the past now. ) Anywho... I've finally crossed over into the light of the orchard and can say it's a pleasure to be here.

I've already made the acquaintance of a number of you guys from our mutual llamahood, so if you're wondering if there are two heartnsouls, you ought to know that's just not possible. There's only one of me.

Keith posted my link with photos from Newport Folk Festival. If only wishes could be fishes and a song could be president, I'd wave my magic wand and transport all of you back to the Harbor Stage on Sunday to listen to OTR play so beautifully in that incredible place. (And if that worked, I'd wave it again and whisk myself to The Living Room tonight... but alas work has a way of interfering with a good time.)

Hope to stop in from time to time.

adriana. hey you!

good to *see* you here (finally!).



enjoy the show tonite.

Welcome to the Orchard!!

Thanks, stiv. Nice to be here.

Hey Bill. I see from your secret code that you're up to 127! And to think I met you at #101... Oh, it seems like just yesterday. 'Tho Keith will be at the Living Room tonight and tomorrow, I will remain faithfully chained to my desk paying penance for a weekend at play. But that's OK. I really had a great time at Newport and I will hold on to this post-weekend bliss as long as it lasts.

Welcome!

Hello! (Or should I say, Oh-hi-ya?)

That's for darn sure!

Gosh, they'll let anyone in here nowadays! Great to see you over here, A. Both OtR shows at the Living Room were last night, by the way (report coming soon). Today I'm at home recovering from my wonderful but tiring 5-day musical vacation.

Welcome to the orchard!

what? i thought you were going to ridgefield too. are you too much of a slacker to go slack with slacker jane, the queen of slackness?

seriously tho, two junkies shows, newport and 2 OtR shows in what, 5 days?!?! you deserve a night off bro.

Yes, he's definitely slacking. I'm so disappointed in him.

But lookie here, biv, your concert count hasn't changed in the 24 hours I've been on this board. Where has the love gone?

welcome to the orchard adriana.
it looks like you're settling in here just fine.

trust me, through no fault of mine...

Nice to make your acquaintance!

welcome to the orchard!

Thanks, Joshua! It's mighty nice here.
