[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!]
