Yes. Some time has passed since I was last heard from. My computer went the way of all flesh and mechanical thing. Down. Crash. And a lot of stuff got lost. And I was forced to utter some appropriate invective.
Now let's move on to the good side of life.
Mount Vernon's Chocolate Stroll has once again come around. In the past we have played in the Gazebo in the park, but this year we moved inside--into the Community Center. Rick and Trude Elliott and community volunteers have made the old middle school auditorium into a great performance venue. Sound was great. And no rain, no bugs.
Jon Wilson had to be out of town so Nick George took over on drums.
This was an absolutely wonderful day. We saw some old friends and made some new ones. Among the old friends, I especially noticed Wes and Riella Rich, former owners of the Fireside Grill, sitting in the front row. Among the new friends: our neighbors from right across the street who brought their baby to catch the act.
We played songs from our regular book and some numbers we are adding. One of my favorites of the afternoon was Eddie's version of the jazz standard "Where or When."
Special treat: Eddie's son E.P. and his partner Martha came from Chicago for the occasion.
What you see in these pictures is four musicians having a very good time.
