We hope you can find time in your busy schedule to join us for our seventh annual celebration of the season at Big Bug Station. We look forward to this show every year and are especially pleased to have our nephew SEAN POYNTER joining us on percussion again. We have several new songs to share and some exciting new talents.

As has become the tradition at our Winter’s Eve Concert, we will again host a HOLIDAY COOKIE CONTEST. So dust off your favorite family recipe or whip up something brand new, just bring along enough cookies to share and the audience will vote on their favorites. Categories include:Tastiest, Prettiest, Chocolatiest, Traditional, Original, Healthy.

And here is some good news! After a two year lull, Big Bug Station will be reopening as a coffeehouse and sandwich shop, featuring homemade bread and pastries. The new proprietors, Jack Arneson and Jackie Hagerty, are busily remodeling the space and will officially open the week after our concert. This is a welcome cultural addition to our little town and we look forward to having a place to hang out and play music again.

Big Bug Station is located in historic downtown Mayer, Arizona at the junction of Central and Main (overflow parking at the post office). Call 928.632.7530 for further information.

Hope to see you,
Don & Deb

Music begins at 6 PM and we start around 6:30 PM with a 45-50 minute set. Might be a nice night to sit out and enjoy one of the best springs ever. As a matter of fact, bring along your own lawn chair along for comfort. NO COVER just drink some coffee and pitch pennies in the tip jar. For more info call 602-296-4798.

The park has many cool features with antique tractors, blacksmithing demos and site tours but the main thing is a 150 folk musicians appearing on numerous stages, in workshops, and generally all about the grounds. As a special treat this year, D-Squared will be joined by our nephew Sean Poynter on percussion – the kid can play.

The Sahuaro Ranch Park is located at 9802 N. 59th Avenue in Glendale (map). Admission to the event is FREE. Further information and a complete schedule of events is available at glendaleaz.com/ParksAndRecreation/SpecialEvents.cfm .

Come celebrate one of the best springs in years with us.

We have had a long and fruitful relationship with the Sharlot Hall Museum – first with Warren Miller and then with Jody Drake, the current Curator of Education – and have extolled the virtues of the Blue Rose Theater many times. Anyone who has attended a show there can attest to what an intimate and comfortable venue it is and we think you will find this series particularly worthy of your time and hard-earned money. We will keep you apprised of the schedule as it develops but in the meantime:

D-SQUARED kicks off the first of the “ARIZONA MUSIC ALL FOLKED UP” series at 7:30 PM on SATURDAY, JANUARY 30 in the BLUE ROSE THEATER located at the Sharlot Hall Museum, 415 West Gurley Street, Prescott, Arizona. ADMISSION is $14 General Public, $12 Members. Tickets may be purchased at the door or by calling 445-3122.

Hope to see you there!

HOME

Three great bears come to me
Building shelter from the storm
White as snow and tall as trees
They have come to keep me warm

Then four white horses with manes ablaze
Carry my body along
To seven lovely women
Who’ll take my hands
And lead me
And lead me
Home

Standing on the road at night
I am not afraid
Four watchers beside me
With maps to show the way
And at the end of the road there lay
A track I must step o’er
With stars to reckon along the way
I’ll find my way
Find my way
Home

And I will be kissed upon the forehead
And I’ll have all I could ever possibly need
And I will lay down this tired, old body
And I follow
Yes, I will follow
Love home

(Deb’s note: Dad passed away March 3, 2010)
