Summertime and the living is easy.....
Well, something like that anyways. Hello, my little foodies and Happy September!! Amazing!! Where did August go?? Was here a minute ago...did you look behind the couch..everything falls there.. Anyways, in Doug and June land it has been an eventful August.. Doug has gone on a week's vacation to a lakeside cabin..very nice hoe the other half lives!! And ended the summer by going camping...can't wait to hear the stories when he gets back!
June, on the other hand, has stayed much closer to home.. relying on concerts to pass the time..by far the best one was Edgar Winter Group (Frankenstein, Tobacco Road, Rock & Roll Hootchie Coo and Free Ride..remember?) along with his pale blues guitar god, brother Johnny Winter. Yes, it did kick the proverbial ass!! Kim Simmons and Rick Derringer also performed to round things out. I knew I was in the right place when Johnny's roadie came out...patched jeans, Johnny Winter T shirt, Leather vest, long hair and beard (albiet greying) AND a TOP HAT!!! Yes!! This is what Rock & Roll dreams are made of. The only disappointment was that Leslie West was supposed to be with them and wasn't. But they made up for it...was a wicked pissa show!! and of course I ate my traditional huge pretzel. Seats were really good..lots of LOUD music..lots of screaming (me)..and LOUD singing (again me ..and Johnny, and Edgar, and Rick, and Kim)
Edgar..did the white linen suit!!
Johnny...for a 68 yr old guy he may look a little rough..but he sure can make that guitar scream!!
Edgar with his guitarist...man can this guy play!!
I am telling you they were WICKED!!!
