Spring
Suddenly Spring is here, except last night we had frost warning and tonight it’s freeze warning. Becky and I spread sheets over the garden, since lots of tender young sprouts have sprouted.
Becky has us getting out a little more, picking up free tickets for things at work. A weekend or so ago we saw a play, Miss Saigon. It was good, except I didn’t think they needed to kill off the mother at the end. Most people who know about plays and stuff would no doubt agree it had to be done in order to make the point, or something. Last night we went to a concert at KU. The opener, Hometown News, was excellent. The main act, Kevin Sharp, was good, but we liked Hometown’s music better. Sharp is a cancer survivor and this was a benefit for a thing called Camp Quality. They’re both “Country Music” genre, but it didn’t really seem like Country. Maybe there’s Country and there’s also Country & Western? Or Progressive Country? Anyway, we liked ’em.
Nothing really new in our lives to report. Each of us a year older than a year ago which seems like it wasn’t very long ago.
Kimberly says:
I listened to a couple of the songs on the Hometown News site. I would classify them as pop country. I think I would listen to them sometimes.
A couple of Sundays ago we went to a saloon in North Beach for Bloody Marys and there was a really great local Blues band playing. I believe they are even too local to have anything on a website or have a name. Or I might just not remember it.
Last Friday Jackie and I went to see the Dead Hensons at Hotel Utah. Hammerdown Turpentine (also local) played directly after DH. I thought of you because the harmonica guy was rad! I thought, my Dad can do that. The banjo player was pretty great as well.
I’m super glad that you guys are going out experiencing new adventures. Take all the advantage you can of free stuff, best way to go.
Take care of those sprouts.
