Musician says title track "This Year" urges action; mentions new accordion
Summary
During a Missoula set the performer introduced the album's title track "This Year" as urging listeners to act now, and noted a recently arrived accordion from Cleveland used in the performance.
At a Missoula performance, a musician introduced the title track of an album, saying the song "This Year" is about "not putting things off until next year, but, doing them this year." The performer framed the song as an impetus to act in the present.
The musician also noted a new instrument: "How do you know this accordion arrived here last weekend from Cleveland?" The comment established that an accordion recently shipped from Cleveland was used in the set.
The performer made a musical aside comparing a Bach motif to a bowling image: "if anyone knows any Bach theme, there's parts of things that are really big on bowling. And if you take a good look at that, you know, it kinda looks like a bowling ball." The remark was presented as a casual observation about musical arrangement rather than a technical musicology claim.
These statements occurred during the performance; no formal announcements or administrative actions accompanied the remarks.
