Oooooh - would love to hear that!

  The Ship Song with strings must've been amazing! They probably would've added a lot to River Cross too, I'd imagine.

if Ed wanted to raise some money for EB, a good way to go would be to charge $20 for a download of the shows, I imagine it would raise quite a bit.

Definitely an emotional night for many in attendance. Made me think of the Valvano speech line, “If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.” 

The string quartet songs, Corduroy, and River Cross were the highlights for me, but every song seemed to fit the occasion well.

There was a notice of filming last night. Multiple camera crews were getting footage.

The acoustics of Benaroya continue to be just unreal. Just Ed and his guitar. Hearing stripped down acoustic versions.....it was amazing. Now I wanna go again tonight.

Definitely need a EV Benny.

So Jeff Ross (comedian) opened for approx 1 hour?  Will it be the same tonight?  Also, No Earthlings band… just EV solo?  Obviously great either way, just clarifying.  🤙

I believe Jeff Ross said he wouldn't be there tonight. Yes it was about a 45 min set. Just EV solo with the exception of the string section

Highlights for me
- First 3 songs
- Corduroy. 🔥💕
- Eli 🥰
- Songs with the string quartet. So beautiful. 

A few tears were shed. And got goosebumps at times. So glad I was there. So wish I had run up the credit card to be there for night 2.

Just Breathe with the string quartet took me out...goosebumps. Beautiful. The songs with strings were my favorite part. It was my first visit to Benaroya and it was incredible sound. Lovely Corduroy. The story of Unthought Known was awesome to hear. 

The cause, the kids, the researchers and families everything was heartwarming and highlighted such important work that's having a real impact. I felt lucky to be a part of it all as an attendee.
