The band is throwing some serious love to the town that I am really from. Tour opener in Wilmington, De. I know they did a tour closer there before and maybe another one. That show closed with a first time played, Bye and Bye. We got acoustic, 70, I think, with a first time played, Frozen logger.
Interesting story associated with the grand Opera house in Wilmington. It is run all by volunteers. Othel Heaney is one of those volunteers. When I was growing up, we shared a back door neighbor. I was super close with her son Rodger when we were in like 5-7th grades. Rodger died young in a car accident on the night before Thanksgiving. His brother, Kevin committed suicide a couple of years later. Othel has channeled all of that grief and works with others who are experiencing tragedy and grief. Just google Othel Heaney and click on the article from Delaware on line. They tell the story better. I have been to every Dark Star show they’ve played at the Grand and Othel has been there every time. I hope to see her again.
