Vincent Cross: on the road again

Vincent Cross reports from New York (where the weather is chilly):

Here things are busy as ever. The album, Home away from home, has received some more reviews, and is receiving airplay in both Nashville and NYC. I have placed these reviews on my blog page on MySpace. Gig wise, on Saturday we went back in time to the 1820s and performed in a town house in Richmond, Staten Island. This was a purely acoustic affair, as there was no electricity, only candles and a pot-belly stove. A wonderful place and a wonderful crowd.

Finally, last week we were blessed to be invited to Odetta's memorial at the Riverside Church in Manhattan. We were in the 'Great Company' of such luminaries as Harry Belafonte, Steve Earle, and the one and only Pete Seeger. He even got up and lead the whole church through a rendition of 'Take this hammer'. I swear to you, the emotions were high that night. A space has been created since she has passed on.
