Woot Made It!



Day 1- Thank goodness for wellies. Although I think folks who came in on Friday might have had the worse end of things from what I was reading bout Reading.


And look at the amazing ribbon bands that they have for the festival. I almost didn't want to cut them off, but that would mean showering with them. Ugh!


Still mesmerized over the pretty wellies.


So who did I see and love?

Something to Remember

I've stop posting silly nonsense about my gig going for awhile. I don't even remember to bring my camera out most of the time nowadays. Guess i'm growing old. Still love gigs, but not as teeny bopping anymore?

Went to the Saratoga Winery last night. It was a beautiful warm night, everyone was oo-ing and ahh-ing over it. The music kicked off right with Swell Season sounding amazing. Half way into the show, something unfortunately happen. All eyes was focused on Glen and something just dropped on stage. It was a person. No one quite saw what happened. From what we could figure out, someone jumped. There was no movement, some doctors from the crowd administered CPR, the paramedics came after perhaps 15 minutes but never left. They ushered us out the amphitheater slowly and eventually towards our cars to head home.
