Last week, our Austin-based friend Ray Bonneville had a show at the Aster Cafe in Minneapolis, in the River Room…it was a beautiful, intimate setting, almost like a living room show. In addition to playing songs from his new album, he played “Big Easy” for us. And we were delighted when he ended up staying at our house, a few miles downriver in St. Paul. What a privilege…he is such a good storyteller, in conversation as well as through his music…and we sent him on his way to Fort Atkinson, WI the next day after some breakfast.
