I ran into and introduced myself this past weekend to Baltimore’s own Caleb Stine, an awesome area musician. I’ve seen Caleb play a couple times under a variety of circumstances since I came back to Baltimore, but saw him most recently at the Talking Head, with Jason Dove opening up for him. He played a solo acoustic set (with a girl on harmony for a few songs) and came down off the stage and played in a ring amidst the crowd unamplified almost all traditional songs. The evening ended with him rallying everyone in close and we had a big old-fashioned group sing-along. It was amazing and has been an inspiration for me ever since, because here’s somebody who’s really doing it. Anyway, right after I talked to Caleb this weekend, I found out through a friend that somehow a picture of me listening intently at that show had made it onto his website. I’m re-posting it here. Yes, I’m the one with the mustache and bandana. Great show, thanks Caleb!
