So… When one goes through drawers, files, and boxes, one finds things you’ve forgotten about… As, the video we put together of our first trip to Ireland, in 2008. My god, fifteen years ago…. Yeah, time must really fly. Anyway, here’s the video I put together to be our slide show, w/ music…. Brings back so many memories, and, a few tears… But, how lucky we were/are, to be able to share adventures with each other…..

Fun at Funky Frets…
Been a couple weeks since I posted. Been busy getting ready for this adventure… We left at 3am cst, for Pennsylvania and a ton of fun…
Spent the night in Somerset, Pa, cuz it’s too difficult to drive all the way in one day…
Made it to Pottstown/Boyertown the next day, and the fun begins…
It was a great trip/adventure. Kelly, and Funky Frets killed it…. So many good friend, and fun… Kurt, Kendra, Cheryl, Pete/Dee, Diane, Sharla, Louise, and 182 other close/new friends… And now, onto more fun!!

Pizza on the Farm
Hey kids… Last night- Saturday- was a fun evening. We were invited to play at the ‘Pizza on the Farm’ event, at Inn Serendipity, for the Wisconsin Soil Sisters… Fun time. The Inn is an off grid, B&B/farm, and Soil Sisters are a group of women farmers, that work together to help each other. Both are way cool… A good crowd, and amazing food. The pizza was killer, and, other tasty foods- salads, cheeses, finger food… All soooo good… Thank you again, for asking us to be a part of this fun, worthy event!
We played City Market!
Hey kids… So, blowing our own, local horn… Last Friday, or as some say, Friday last, we- The Magtones– played the acoustic stage ( it’s a spot, not a stage, actually) at the local city market… That is quite a feather in our small caps… We played from 5 to 8pm, and had a lot of fun… Our amazing, and very nice friend Michael August, was nice enough to join us for the fun… And, it’s always more fun when he plays/jams with us, or anyone, for that matter….
