2/25/17: Knoxville, TN- Boyd’s Jig and Reel: We were so happy to see our good friends Andre and Joanna, who we first met in upstate New York about a year ago. They have since moved to Knoxville and I had been so excited to see them this whole tour. Boyd’s was PACKED tonight and people were there to have a good time. Our sets were a lot of fun and we were happy to see a whole crew of John Williams’ family at the show. John played a couple of solo songs halfway through the set which is always fun to watch. After the show we all hung out at Andre and Joanna’s place, they are just about the nicest people you’ll meet and it was so great catching up. The next day we had one of our first days off in a while and spent it at John Williams’ sister in law’s parents house just outside of town. We had a great brunch and played some basketball. I really enjoyed watching John’s sister in law, Jess’ mom make the gravy for biscuits in gravy. There is something truly amazing about watching a southerner make homemade gravy; it is truly an art. After a great afternoon we relaxed with our friends and watched the Oscars. It is so nice getting to spend time with our friends and family when we’re so far away from home. We feel so lucky.
