Guitars, and friends…

Posted on by

So… a goofy photo of me, holding an early ’70’s Yamaha acoustic guitar… The first ‘real’ decent guitar I ever purchased. Loved this ‘ax’ but, it was too big for me. I weighed 115 pounds then… I ended up selling it to my friend from the Tabor youth group, Don Brees.

Move ahead FIFTY years… Don stopped by, while visiting the old stomping grounds. We reconnected a few years ago- one of the few benefits of that Facebook place… And, he brought the guitar with him… Always good to see him. And, as my lovely wife says, it’s nice to know good people, who are making a difference in the world…..

So, here is a video from Youtube. Don has a site/page, and, here he is, playing said guitar….

So, we have a couple friends from the Nashville area… They play ukuleles, but, not what you think of, with uke tunes…. They turn a tune into their own. Their band is great. They really make listening fun….

Here’s an example of one of their covers…. Never ‘liked’ the tune, til they spun it upside down …. Go, give a listen to it, and their other work…. Good stuff……

Hey… Yup. Still alive… Like I had said, w/ a new knee, we’ve been busy not doing things… But getting back to normal, so to speak, so, out doing the music stuff… We went to the Brown County Ukulele Festival, last weekend, and had a great time. All kinds of tunes, and fun. Hang out with friends that we see a couple times a year, but make a difference in your life… Play tunes, catch up, repeat… Here’s a couple videos. One of us, and, a couple of the amazing Sharla Rae and her ‘band’ the Raeguns… A ton of fun, and proud to be involved ….. We had Sharla, Mike August, Ray, me, Maggie and Diane, all adding to the fun…

SO GOOD… Crowd loved it….. So did we…..

Hey there. We were supposed to play at a local coffee shop- Katie’s Cup- for an event called ‘Cars & Coffee’… However, nature decided that we deserved 4″ of HEAVY wet snow… So, said event was canceled…. We were bummed… But, I thought…. Why can’t we play live from our living room, for the nice people who would have stopped by… So… We did…. It’s just a living room concert kinda thing… Nothing fancy, but, fun… Hope you enjoy it… And thanks to all our friends who stopped by!!!
