Mirabelle Luna Metcalfe was born ready for prime time at 7:49 pm, Thursday February 22nd. She shares a birthday with such luminaries as Robert Wadlow (tallest human ever 8' 11.1")), Chico Marx ("I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering into her mouth"), George Harrison (whose song 'Something' was our wedding anthem), Neil Jordan (director), and modern American renaissance man 'Carrot-top.' And speaking of tops, she is topped by a deep-brown thicket of wispy hair and, i've been told, has her daddy's (toy) piano-playing fingers. she and her mom are resting, recouping, and reclining now at home after a few days in the hospital. I'll post pictures when i can. In music news, most of the following shows are TBD as far as my presence goes. Being unfamiliar with the duties and (lack of) sleeping habits a new dad finds himself in, i've decided to play my first few measures with Mirabelle by ear and see what happens. It's only natural. I'l have her practicing a diminuative scale and working on our family of sharps by week's end. Here's some shows coming up:
March 3rd--Saturday--Jolie Fille play at Uncle Charlie's in Crozet. Visit http://ucsmoke.com/ourplace.htm for more details.
March 10th--Saturday--Jolie Fille opens for the Guano Boys at the Satellite Ballroom on the Corner in Charlottesville. Visit http://www.satelliteballroom.com/ for details.

March 24th--Alex Caton (www.alexcaton.com) brings her gypsy soul to the space which used to be called the prism coffee house (now known as 214 Community Arts Center). We will be playing a wide range of eastern european, klezmer, and gypsy jazz tunes starting at 7 pm. Featuring Dan Sebring on guitar, mandolin, and fiddle, Lew Burrus on double bass, alex on fiddle and vocals, and m'self on accordion, followed by the Joel Rubin Klezmer ensemble. All proceeds will benefit the arts space, so come down for a worthy purpose, and a night of raucous high-kickin' fun. visit www.214arts.org for more info.
