Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
My friend Mike August is an amazing musician and person. He messaged me a few days ago, about putting a Christmas tune together. I jumped at the chance. This is what came out of it. Hope you like it, and, you do have a Merry little Christmas…
Willow 2019
Well, we’re home from another amazing cow pasture/hay wagon musical adventure. Had a great time, as always, with good friends, good food, and great music…
Wanted to share a few videos and photos from the Adventure…
Always a favorite, and Mike (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdMeXz5BCizOf6oQojlv43w ) tears it up, on harp…
Sweet Pea, is a fun tune… Part blues. Part ‘old timey’
One of my favorites…. Nat King Cole set a standard that can’t be touched, but, we touched the song….
We were lucky enough to play with the amazing ‘Tommy Gun’ (Tom Gowan) and the always percussionistic Dr Brad
Then, we did Losing My Religion, after ONE practice… Not too shabby…!!
A few assorted pix…. Again, good times….
Porchfest 2019
Took a little while to transfer the videos from our friend. So, here they are… We had played PorchFest 2019 in Mt Morris, Il… Lots of fun. Great music-besides ours- and good times…
Claire Lynch’s ‘ A Little Further in the Hole….
Old Timey Tune
We got together with our friend, Mike, and did a quick version of ‘Your Baby Ain’t Sweet Like Mine…
Not too shabby….
In The Jailhouse Now- the Mike band
Wanted to share our friend Mike’s video of ‘In The Jailhouse Now’ . An old timey tune from Oh Brother Where Are Thou…
He does a great job, and has fun… And we did too, listening…..
Stop by Harpo’s Chatterbox Cafe….
Goin’ to Havana…
Our good friend, Elizabeth, tore it up w/ her cover of Havana… She was nice enough to ask Mike, and I, to add a little extra…
We were very happy to oblige…
Enjoy…..
Roadtrip to DC
So, we went on a road trip to the DC area, for a uke fest, and a fantastic tour of Washington. Met some really great people. Saw some amazing things. Had some deeply moving experiences.
We hit the road early Thursday morning. EARLY… Like 3am cst early… But, we passed though Chicago w/out any difficulty. Twelve hours later, we’re hangin’ in the DC area.
Mike driving. Getting us to our destination
Thursday evening, we rested up, and did a little jamming…
Mike and Tim jammin’ on a tune…
Friday morning, we hit the city. The national mall, among other spots…
Stopped by Abe’s den… You know, it’s really odd/surreal standing there, thinking of all the times we’ve seen it on tv, in the movies, and, to finally be there… Very moving…
The Korean war memorial.
Saturday morning, we headed off to the first Gaithersburg ukulele fest. Mike taught harmonica, and did great! Lots of good reviews.
During our class with Gracie Terzian. Maggie was asked to help/demonstrate how to sing and play at the same time…. Fun…
Mike’s demo at the harp class….
During dinner, we got to do a couple tunes… We hung w/ Cynna, Diane, and a bunch of other cool peeps…
s
Sunday, we went to Mount Vernon, George Washington’s estate… HOW cool is this?!?
Monday, we hit the streets/sites again, in DC. 
Diane was a fabulous host/guide/companion/friend…
And, sadly, we headed home on Tuesday… 
We cannot say how much we appreciate everyone we met, and, especially Mike, for the music, tour, adventure, friendship…
