We first met as musicians years ago, Don. What inspired you to start Valley Stage?
Don Sheldon: I remember I had just been to one of Levon Helm's Mid-Night Rambles at his home in Woodstock, New York, and the idea of informal house concerts had also just been brought to my attention. My own home was too small for such an event but when I looked out to my front yard, the vision of an outdoor concert in a natural amphitheatre...
Central Vermonters are still reacting to the news this week that the Langdon Street Cafe, one of Montpelier's most vibrant and eclectic meeting places for food, drink, art, music and conversation, is shuttering its doors after 6 plus years.
As a semi-regular visitor to Montpelier, I recall some moving and hilarious moments at Langdon over the years. Here, though, I'd simply like to say "Thanks" to all the good folks at Langdon who worked hard to provide a musical meeting place for so many of us over the years.

Longshot Productions presents a benefit concert and film preview for Green Blooded: Vermont at a Crossroad on Friday, October 15 at the Barnard Town Hall. Doors open at 7:00.
FROM THE FILM DIRECTOR:
GREEN-BLOODED is documentary film project to capture the hearts and minds of Vermonters – natives and newcomers alike – as we envision the future of our beloved state in a floundering nation and an eroding global “order”. What are our options, where should we turn, and can we get there from here?
