Robin Kessinger invited me to play this unique venue with him just off the coast of Maine. The friendly island community gave us a warm welcome to Little Cranberry and a great turn out for the concert at the Neighborhood House. Robin conducted a workshop most of the day, and the concert took place that evening. Robin and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and I think the audience enjoyed our performance almost as much as we enjoyed playing for them.

Among the highlights of the evening was Robin’s soulful rendition of the Pink Panther. It was a blessing to see him back to his old self again after his recent stroke. This time getting to play with Robin was an answer to prayer.

I would especially like to thank Mark Howard and Skip Stevens for inviting us to play and coordinating the event. Thank you guys for the opportunity to play on Little Cranberry and catch a glimpse of life on the island. I hope I’ll get to come back some day!

I’ve also been practicing for the New England Fatpickin’ Championship in Cornish, Maine this Saturday. Check back soon for the results of the contest.

   Hey Adam,

   I hadn’t known about Robin’s stroke. I’m so glad to hear he is back in action. It was good to pick with you and Robin at his workshop last September in St. Albans. You two sure put me through my paces, but I learned a lot.

   I was at the Wayne Henderson Festival and you sounded great. The guitar competition was fierce.
