Before school let out last week Stephanie helped us with the Sing Along at Franklin Elementary School in Port Angeles. What a treat for the kids! In the past, we've had Deadwood Revival, Luck of the Draw, and other local musicians join us for the weekly sing along event. You might be surprised to learn that "Louie Louie" is a favorite every year. One day, at least twenty years ago, I looked up and the kids were doing this hand movement, hand jive kind of thing that I certainly had not taught them. Ever since, it has been handed down from one year to another. But enough of school, which is out for the summer, and back to music on the Olympic Peninsula! Stephanie and I will perform at the Ajax Cafe in Port Hadlock this Saturday starting at 6:00 PM. The food is exceptional and the hats are a riot (see several posts back). Get a reservation at 360 385-3450. After that we're back at the Junction in Port Angeles for our weekly Jam/Open Mic starting at 7:00 PM. More pictures shot there appear next week as promised. With all this nice weather on the peninsula, maybe number two son, Miles, will take some outdoor pics of us next week, too. That is, if he isn't being interviewed on Northwest Afternoon again for his video work in the Seattle Times contest. Yes, I taped the program, and it was very cool.
Alright then, it's off to get a much needed haircut and work on our recordings.

I think I look like one of the kids in this picture...I know I kind of felt like it. It's so fun to feel like a little kid again!
The Ajax Cafe is going to be fun! We get to play and eat dinner...It's like a vacation.(Yes, I don't get out much.)
Barry,
Do you think you could include some directions on how to post a comment on the blog in your next post? I've heard that people are having some trouble...something about the comment page doesn't load fast enough. So, they can't see the 'choose identity part'. I haven't had any trouble, although it took me a couple of times to figure out that I don't have to sign up to post a comment and I could just select other and type in my name.
This blogging thing is pretty cool though. I guess I can to say whatever I want...Oh the power!!:)
Yes, I'm looking forward to this evening, too. The Ajax is always a kick in the pants. Keep the comments coming, please! The blog is so much fun and a great way to get feedback and conversation. Just click other or anonymous if you don't have your own blog.
We had sooooooooo much fun at the Ajax last night! We sold out of cds and the crowd was really digging us! Hope we have at least half as much fun at The Junction tonight...I know I'll be having one of them fancy cocktails that Cindy makes...Yum!
