We were joined in WSHU’s Studio A by two old friends: Guitarist Robert Messore of New Haven and singer-songwriter Dan Lyon of Ridgefield. It was a return visit for each of them.

Robert was heading up the “Elm City Song Circle” (featuring six performers) the next day in New Haven as part of the Audubon Street “Art on the Edge” Festival and Dan was opening the next night in Bridgeport for the first 2002 ZooFolk concert featuring Bill Staines and David Mallett.

We were shooting for an hour of chatter and music, but it was such an enjoyable synergy between the three of us that we devoted most of the show’s two hours to live performance. We spent a bit of time analyzing the music of three performers scheduled for the song circle. Our thanks again to WSHU’s Chief Engineer Paul Litwinovich as the “man behind the glass” for the night.
