Jan. 23, 2006 - Nickel Creek at E-Town
Boy that girl can fiddle.....I love it that Sara Watkins (and her brother Sean) of Nickel Creek were homeschooled....such aspirations I have for my boys of being fabulous musicians (hopefully a cellist among them).....I never really enjoyed any of the concerts I had been dragged to before I found Nickel Creek....and even though I am not as fond of their most recent release - I absolutely melted in anticipation of hearing the voices of their instruments (strings and vocal) in a live performance. If you have not heard of them...you will find a treat at http://www.nickelcreek.com/ just look for some samples of their stuff....well worth the hunt. I must also say that Chris Thile scooped up my heart during his dances with his mandolin. Funny how simply watching/living something like that can increase the size of your heart in measurable amounts.
