83/366 - Kristina Olsen in concert in a "Yak Yurt!"


Kristina Olsen is a very talented musician and singer-songwriter from the USA. Not only does she write often hilarious and frequently thought-provoking songs, she also plays the acoustic guitar, slide guitar, saxophone, concertina, mandolin, banjo and piano! She played many of those in her gig tonight, and was very well-received by the audience.

I first saw Kristina perform live at The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, way back in the mid-90s. Imagine my delight when I discovered a few days ago that she was performing at the yurt (or "Yak Yurt" as she dubbed it) at The Free House. The Wifie was very obliging and agreed to accompany me to the rather pungent yurt, where we had a wonderful night of music, laughs and poignant moments . . . and a lump in our throats for the last song of the night "Cry you a waterfall."
