THE STORY:
The setting is a 100+ year old church in downtown Great Falls, MT where the congregation I serve lets me put on acoustic music concerts under the moniker of Stone Soup Productions.  This night was special because it featured our local hero Aaron Parrett, who teaches literature at University of Great Falls; Ivan Rosenberg, a musical gem & friend from Portland, OR; and our newest PDX transplant, Nann Alleman, of Flat Mountain Girls and Spigot fame.  The night was cold and the snow was flying by the time the show was over, but inside it was toasty and comfortable as we gathered for a great evening of music.  Oh, and Gordon Lightfoot was playing a nearly sold-out show at the GF Civic Center just 8 blocks away, but Aaron was convinced he’d win the cage-match between the two, and both he and Ivan even worked in a couple of the Canadian’s balladeer’s songs.  Great Falls is no musical mecca, but anyone with a lick of sense, some good friends, and a gracious venue can make live music happen on a dime, and I strongly encourage everyone to act on the truth that Live Music Is Better!  And yes, bumperstickers should be issued.
  
ENJOY!
