Our most recent trip to Portland went well and it is always fun to see friends and fans who return every year to sit in Pioneer Square's brick amphitheater. On Sept. 26 and 27 at 1pm and 3pm are our next outdoor shows at Seattle Center. It is free and open to the general public: http://www.festaseattle.com/CarterFamily.htm Once, we performed our pupi in New Orleans for their Italian festival put together by the Louisiana Symphony. It was a wonderful event with free programs throughout town. Quartets from the symphony were set-up on street corners playing Italian classical music and folk tunes. Mandolin players were strolling about. We were honored that they invited us to come across the country. We found out that New Orleans has a large population of early Sicilian immigrants. After the show, one woman came up to our Bradamante crying and telling the puppet that she never thought she would see her (the puppet character) again. She had seen pupi decades ago in her hometown. On a related topic. Anyone know what is happening with the pupi in Stonycreek, Connecticut? I heard the building they are in has been condemned. It is a wonderful and important collection of pupi from the Macri family of Acireale but I have never seen it in person. Maybe someone in that part of the country has some news.
