Dear Friends,

Welcome to your Friday Musical Moment. In anticipation of this weekend’s virtual streaming event of Philidor's The Blacksmith, which was recorded at Reddert Ranch in Mancos, CO this October, we would like to share an excerpt from the show with you.

In this excerpt, Marcel/ The Blacksmith (Dominique Côté) puts his and Claudie’s plan, to have Slim MacBride (Frank Kelley) marry his daughter Jeannie, into action. He hopes to make a profit from this union and plies MacBride with alcohol (while not drinking any himself), reminding him of all the money owed for services rendered.

Enjoy!
