Lost gigs and New directions

I haven't updated this in a while...sorry. I have been busy, but not in the ways I would like.
I have been preparing for a few weddings with a string quartet and string trio happening throughout June, July and August. I will feel at home again in a suit playing something "classical".
I played fiddle at a Civil War reenactment for a grade school (Harriet Beecher Stowe) in Brunswick last week (5/25).

I couldn't land a costume so I improvised with what I had-- a perfect minstrel outfit!

MaineStream lost a major gig at Harmony Hall this past weekend. Each member was not only prepared, but had put aside personal events to make the gig. There was anger from all sides and I just wondered what went wrong-- possibly Memorial weekend and bad timing. The band is now questioning remaining together. I hope something gets solved-- when we work together we have a decent sound. Is the gigging scene in this state shrinking?
Yet another roadblock in the journey.

Thanks!
