who dar?

Hannah met folksinger Dar Williams the other day to thank her for donating her strings to Wear Your Music. She also gave Dar a pendant and bracelet of her own guitar strings. The singer-songwriter has long had a large fan base. I always liked the song Wilder Than Her. Another tune is The Christians and the Pagans, a song about a Wiccan couple spending Christmas with a deeply churchy relative, probably inspired by Dar's study of religion at Wesleyan University (yes, her parents probably could have afforded to pay for her to get in but I doubt they did).

In other family/celebrity news, my brother Chris just finished a six-month stint overseeing setbuilding for a forthcoming TV series starring Ben Kingsley, who as far as I can tell is playing the opposite of Gandhi in this noir outing. You can watch the terrifying trailer of "Perpetual Grace."
