The Ruckus: 40 Gigs in 2010!

Pezzettino/Wolfgang Schaefer | Laughing Goat | Boulder, Colorado | 23 September
I’m not sure where to start with this gig. I wasn’t having a good day and I didn’t want to drive to Boulder after work. Margaret Stutt and Wolfgang Schaefer turned my day around and then some. I had never heard Wolfgang perform and I think that is part of what caught me so far off guard. I believe I sat there with my mouth hanging open from halfway through the first song to the end of his set. Margaret gives this heartwrenching, bouncing, electrifying performance. The accordion seems like it is going to engulf her. If you can believe it, she’s even more spectacular live then on the record.
