Friday Night Videos

I met Charles de Lint back around 1994 or so, when I ended up being his guest host (quite by accident) for Aggiecon. Turns out I'd been a fan of his work, but hadn't connected said work to his name. I've kept in friendly contact with him and his delightful wife, MaryAnn Harris ever since. In addition to being a fantastic writer of fantasy literature (and SF, too, on the very rare occasions he ventures there) de Lint is an accomplished musician. He and MaryAnn tend to give acoustic concerts or just hang out and jam at pretty much every literary convention they attend. Many of us have been pestering them for years to record an album. Now, finally, they have. Charles' first album, Old Blue Truck, is available for download (as well as MaryAnn's debut, Crow Girls). "Cherokee Girl" is the first video from the project. Let's hope it's only the first of many.
