Roxanne Neat

Mighty gusts of wind blew the doors open and sent great clouds of fall leaves rolling down the street today. I guess this means we're full into fall (which we are by the calendar, but it seems like we just started wearing coats about two weeks ago). It was nice to slip into the store for brunch and to listen to the lovely, clear voice of Roxanne Neat, a central Wisconsin folk singer.

She played for a little more than an hour, and treated the audience to guitar, keyboards and even (my fave) the banjo. Fresh from an appearance on WERN's (Madison) "Simply Folk," her selections ranged from traditional folk songs to modern ballads. She even slipped in the stores' un-official theme song, "I Love You, a Bushel and a Peck." It was delightful...and too short.

Perhaps she can be convinced to return...
