Feeling inspired and wanting to capture some of the good vibes, I happened to turn on my camera just as Ida started playing the regional classic "Driftless" by Greg Brown (Red House Records). It was a pleasant surprise to say the least! And while Acadia doesn't allow cover songs (because they choose not to pay ASCAP / BMI public performance fees), there's nothing wrong with covering an ode to the Driftless by a fellow independent musician that not everyone in the room would necessarily recognize. I'm sure Mr. Brown would approve at least. At any rate, be sure to check out Ida's lovely violin solo in the video of this serendipitous cover song below.
