Summer


What is it about summer schedules and teenagers? Sleep until noon or later and stay out until 3:00 AM when 90% percent of the job prospects are only attainable during the daylight hours. I don't want to think about the kind of economic possibilities associated with the teenage hours. Next thing you know, your kids become musicians working at the Ritz on first avenue in Seattle for an audience of bikers. Well, that's another blog entry for a later date.

The sun has returned to the Olympic Peninsula, and summer is officially in session. Rollin' Waters might perform "Summer Wine" Sunday at the Junction in Port Angeles in honor of this natural event. Tomorrow we rehearse with Rick Thanem who plays at least three instruments and will help us out with an upcoming wedding show. I've worked with him before and he is a quick study...can't wait to play "Billy in the Lowground" with him again. Maybe, if my recording equipment is working well, we'll get to record a few songs, too. Talked with a reporter from the Peninsula Daily News this morning about a feature on the Arts in Action event in Port Angeles coming up on the 22nd of this month. I hope Stephanie likes the picture they choose! It's a fun event with lots of food and people in a near carnival atmosphere right there on Hollywood Beach.
