(We love keeping our playlist fresh.) Here's hoping I'll remember the words better next time. (It's all in fun!) Thanks for your support last night. It was another fabulously amazing adventure in any case!!! *grin* Until next time, keep smiling and enjoy every possible moment!! Alana

On Saturday May 22nd, 7pm Waves of Adrenaline will be opening for Tammy Fletcher at a fundraiser at the Unitarian Universalist Society in Burlington VT!
The goal: funding support for FINCA supported microlender in Haiti. This project provides community level, grass roots funding for small businesses in this ½ island so recently devastated by earthquake.
The players: Bridget and Alana [aka Waves of Adrenaline] folk duo from Winooski bring guitars, mandolin, harmonies, contagious delight, and a happy fistful of original songs. Tammy Fletcher, “Vermont’s own Soul Queen” brings a voice as big as the great outdoors, and a fine cadre of supportive bluegrass musicians.
What you should do: Come on and be part of the fun! $20 donation – to an excellent cause.
So we know this woman, Sally Shaw (no relation to Alana) who got into a bit trouble a while ago for a stunt she pulled with the Nuclear Regulatory Agency in a hearing about the VT Yankee nuclear plant. She brought some garden compost with her when she went to testify, and sprinkled some of it on the table and into the water glasses of the regulators. They appeared shocked. She wondered why ever they would have objected to Spent Fuel in their drinking water, when they did not seem to have any problem putting it into hers. Anyway, it sounded like a folk song to us. Check out our very latest song -- the Ballad of Sally Shaw!
Hey!
We've posted a new original song: Cabin in the Woods. How could it be any more fun? Alana (music-smith) is on mandolin, Bridge (words-smith) on guitar. Turn sound on, and it will play automatically as part of our featured web-music, or go to the MUSIC item on the left to choose it from the playlist.
