Ukulele-playing singer-songwriter Louisa Hall — dinner stranger #57 — was on stage at Washington DC’s Kennedy Center recently playing her instrument, singing her songs, and generally appearing to have a great time.
You can watch her performance by clicking here. She starts out with her cover of The Decemberists’ “Shankhill Butchers,” a song about the Irish paramilitary gang of the same name. It’s also the song she played for me during our meal.
The video gives a great example of Louisa’s effortlessly upbeat nature and quirky sense of humor, which was also on show when she and I got dinner at DC’s Big Bear Cafe last May. Click here for my interview with Louisa.
