[Hope you made it?  And if you didn’t . . . well, you missed it.  See you at the next one?]

June 23

After a day of rest, the first of the “6 in 3 days” begins . . .

Al & Friends

[The Super hosted the AAUW (no, not a union) at the house.  Danny and I didn’t fit the profile, so we fled . . . first to The Depot where we discovered Big Ole’s restoration to be in the Smurf mode . . . ]

[Then to Sixth Avenue Wine & Ale, where Al & Friends were playing.  I was sans camera, so I dialed up a video from a couple of years ago . . . you just have to think Terry Kennedy in the Mary Lou Thunselle spot, but Bill, Al, and Mel remained the same.]

Anthony Miltich 

[Anthony led off a “duo” of performances on Friday.  Carlos Creek Winery provided the venue that afternoon.  Oh yeah, the winery hosts weddings pretty much every weekend.]

[Missing U at . . .  (Her standard FB posting.)]

[A performer should never run out of guitars!]

[Now I can’t get this song out of my head!]

[Sang Landslide during a break.  Part of a larger group of alleged educators from Ashby -also claimed to be close personal friends of Helen and John!  Mostly, they just seemed happy that the school year was over.]

[More “upgrades” in the wine tasting building . . . ]

[That back wall will eventually be pushed out 12 feet.  The deli will be removed, and the  entertainers will perform in the middle of the new back wall.]

[The view from the inside to the outdoor performance area.]

[Anthony and . . . the educators.]

[And here comes the horse drawn wedding party.]

Dan Mahar

[After a short visit to the house (to make sure it was still there), it was on to . . . ]

[Always special when Mr. Mahar comes to town.  I decided the lighting was not good for a video, but here’s one from a couple years ago.]

[And on the way home, here’s that Ole guy again.]

June 25

Skippin’ Stones

[The first of a “trio” of events on Saturday, beginning at the winery.  Skippin’ Stones is a relatively new group from the Cities, though we have seen them here before.  The Super setting up her Missing U at . . . posting.]

[Yeah, I heard that too  . . ]

[Oh, I can’t believe that?  (Obviously, I have no idea what they were talking about.)]

[Tim, Elsa Lee, and Russell.]

[Gale force winds prevented any video activities.  This was the only video I could find on YouTube, but it gives a good cross section of their music.]     ]

Salty Dogs

[Rushed home to throw water on our faces, and then off to Bug-A-Boo Bay for . . . ]

[Beautiful evening with Lake Le Homme Dieu in the background.  Big crowd, lots of noise, and the wind was still an issue – no videos taken here either.]

[So, a tune of another day (plus, it includes Annie!).]

The Cheese Bots

[Do not pass ‘Go,’ do not collect $200, and go directly to SAWA for . . . ]

[Finally, a video taken on the day!]
