On Halloween night, instead of greeting Trick or Treaters, we went to a concert by two of my favorite singer-songwriters. It was an early birthday present from Keith. I've been fans of both for years, and we'd seen Mary Gauthier (pronounced "Go-shay." She's Cajun.) several times over the years. This was the first time we saw Eliza Gilkyson, however, and I was pretty excited about that.
It was an awesome show--just two women trading songs and jokes back and forth, taking the audience on a musical journey. They each did some of their fan favorites, plus a few unexpected treasures along the way. It was truly a Halloween treat.
These clips are not from the show, but they did both of these songs that night. They both touched me in similar, yet different ways. I always get a little wistful around my birthday, thinking about that would have beens and might have beens and what ifs. These two stories about making your own way and following your own dreams fit into that vein for me, and I'd like to share that experience with you all.
Enjoy.

I was so keyed up I could not sleep. After listening to the soothing music I am ready for bed. Lucky birthday boy to go and see them in person.
